Sump Pump Installation Near Brea, California
Sump Pump Installation Near Brea, California
Move water out — before it becomes damage.
A properly sized, code-compliant sump system collects groundwater in a pit/basin and pumps it to an approved discharge point. We install the pump, check valve, discharge piping, and float so the system cycles quietly and reliably when water rises.
We install submersible sump pumps, pedestal pumps, battery backup pumps, and sewage/ejector pumps for basement bathrooms.
What’s Included with Service Lion
- Sizing & selection: submersible vs. pedestal, typical 1/3–1/2 HP
- New check valve to prevent backflow into the pit
- Discharge connection & routing to a code-approved location
- Float/level calibration to avoid short-cycling
- Air gap/backflow recommendations where required
- High-water alarm and battery backup options
- Full water test and homeowner walk-through
We protect floors, keep cuts clean, and tidy up before we leave.
Sump Pump Options (Good → Better → Best)
Submersible Sump Pump (Most Homes)
Quiet, sits in the basin, higher flow. Great for finished spaces.
Pedestal Sump Pump
Motor above the pit for easier future service. Useful in narrow basins.
Battery Backup Pump (Highly Recommended)
Keeps water moving during power outages or primary-pump failure.
High-Water Alarm
Audible (and optional smart) alerts if the water rises too high.
Sewage/Ejector Pump
For basement bathrooms or laundry that drain below sewer elevation.
Maintenance Keeps It Ready
- Test the pump seasonally (pour water into the pit)
- Keep the pit free of debris that can jam the impeller
- Check the check valve and listen for water hammer
- For backups, test batteries and alarms annually
We can add you to a yearly sump pump check so it works when you need it.

Sump Pump Installation FAQs
How long does installation take?
Most standard installations finish in 2–3 hours. Add-ons (battery backup, alarms, longer discharge runs) can add time.
Do I need a new pit or basin?
Not always. If your existing basin is sound and properly placed, we can often reuse it. We’ll recommend an upgrade if it improves flow or noise.
Will the pump be loud?
Submersible pumps are quiet. Proper float height, a quality check valve, and good discharge routing reduce noise further.
Where should the water go?
To an approved discharge point (not the sewer). We’ll route it per code and explain options.
Can you install a backup later?
Yes. We can add a battery backup pump and high-water alarm now or in the future.
