Sump Pump Installation — Greater Seattle
Protect your home from flooding and water damage
Keep Your Basement and Crawl Space Dry
In the Pacific Northwest, heavy rains and high water tables put homes at risk for flooding — especially basements and crawl spaces. A properly installed sump pump is your first line of defense against water damage, mold, and structural problems.
Done Right Plumbing installs and services sump pumps throughout the greater Seattle area. Whether you need a new installation, a replacement, or a backup system, we’ll help you protect your home.
Signs You Need a Sump Pump
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, a sump pump may be the solution:
- ✓Standing water in your basement or crawl space — during or after rainstorms
- ✓Musty smells — a sign of moisture and potential mold growth
- ✓Visible mold or mildew — on walls, floors, or stored items
- ✓Efflorescence — white mineral deposits on concrete walls from water seeping through
- ✓Water stains — on basement walls or floors
- ✓Humidity problems — condensation on windows, damp feeling in lower levels
- ✓Your home sits in a low area — or has a high water table
Sump Pump Services We Provide
New Sump Pump Installation
We install complete sump pump systems — including the sump pit, pump, discharge line, and check valve. We’ll recommend the right size and type for your home’s needs.
Sump Pump Replacement
If your existing pump is failing, old, or undersized, we’ll replace it with a reliable new unit.
Battery Backup Systems
Power often goes out during the storms that cause flooding. A battery backup sump pump keeps working when the electricity doesn’t — protecting your home when you need it most.
Sump Pump Maintenance
Annual testing and maintenance keeps your pump ready when you need it. We check the float switch, clean the pit, test the discharge, and verify the backup system.
Discharge Line Installation
Proper discharge routing is critical. We install discharge lines that move water away from your foundation — not just into your yard to seep back in.
Types of Sump Pumps
Submersible Pumps
Installed inside the sump pit, below water level. Quieter operation and better for finished basements.
Pedestal Pumps
Motor sits above the pit with a hose extending down. Easier to service but louder and more visible.
Battery Backup Pumps
A secondary pump that runs on battery power when electricity fails. Essential in the Seattle area where storms knock out power.
Water-Powered Backup Pumps
Uses municipal water pressure to operate — no batteries required. Good option for homes with reliable water pressure.

FAQs About Sump Pump Installation
How much does sump pump installation cost in Lynnwood?
Sump pump installation costs depend on the type of pump, whether we’re installing a new pit or using an existing one, and whether you want a battery backup system. We always provide upfront pricing before we start. Call us at 425-245-7552 for a free estimate.
Do I need a battery backup for my sump pump?
In the Seattle area, we strongly recommend it. Power outages often happen during the same storms that cause flooding. A battery backup keeps your pump running when you need it most.
How often should I replace my sump pump?
Most sump pumps last 7–10 years. If yours is approaching that age, or if it’s running more often, making unusual noises, or not keeping up with water during heavy rain, it’s time for a replacement.
Can you install a sump pump in a crawl space?
Yes — crawl space sump pumps are one of our most common installations. We install the pit, pump, and discharge line to route water away from your foundation.
My sump pump is running constantly — is that normal?
Not usually. Constant running may indicate a stuck float switch, a pump that’s undersized for your water table, or a failed check valve that lets water flow back into the pit. We can diagnose and fix the issue.
