Sump Pump Repair Near Brea, California
Sump Pump Repair Near Brea, California
Keep water where it belongs — outside your home.
Your sump pump’s only job is to move water out before it can flood a low area. When it fails, even a small storm, irrigation issue, or ground water can leave you with standing water, odors, or damage. Service Lion troubleshoots the whole setup — pump, power, float, and discharge — to find the reason it stopped working and fix it.
We service standard submersible sump pumps, pedestal sump pumps, and sewage/ejector pumps.
Common Sump Pump Issues We Fix
- Sump pump won’t turn on
- Pump runs but won’t pump water out
- Float switch stuck or water level not triggering the pump
- Short cycling — pump turns on and off rapidly
- Clogged discharge line or check valve issue
- Pump is loud, humming, or vibrating
- Pump keeps tripping the breaker
- Pump is older and unreliable during heavy rain
If the pump is burned out or undersized for the volume of water you get, we can replace it with the right size/model.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Service
- Water is standing in the sump pit even when the pump should be running
- You hear the pump running constantly
- You smell musty or damp odors from the basement/crawlspace
- Your pump is 7–10+ years old and hasn’t been serviced
- The discharge line outside is leaking or not flowing
- After storms, you see water where it’s never been before
These are all early warning signs — fixing it now is way cheaper than water damage.
Repair vs. Replacement — What’s Better?
We’ll try to repair when it’s just:
- A stuck float
- A clogged discharge
- A failed check valve
- Minor electrical / power / plug issue
- A pump that needs cleaning and reset
We’ll recommend replacement when:
- The motor is burned out
- The pump is severely corroded
- It’s the wrong size for your home
- It’s older than 10 years
- You’ve had repeat failures during storms
We can install a new sump pump the same visit in many cases.

Add a Battery Backup (Highly Recommended)
Power outages and storms tend to happen at the same time — right when you need the pump. We can quote a battery backup sump pump or a secondary pump so your home is protected even if the primary pump or power fails.

Sump Pump Repair FAQs
How long do sump pumps last?
Most residential pumps last 7–10 years, but heavy use or dirty water can shorten that.
My pump runs but the pit doesn’t empty — what’s wrong?
Often it’s a discharge or check valve problem, not the pump motor. We can test and clear it.
Do you fix sewage/ejector pumps too?
Yes — we service sump pumps and ejector pumps. Tell us which one you have when you call.
Can you install a backup pump?
Yes, we can add battery backup or a secondary pump for more protection.
Do I really need sump pump maintenance?
If you rely on that pump to keep water out, yes. A simple annual check/cleaning helps make sure it works when you actually need it.
