Sump Pump Repair in Lehi
Most sump pump failure issues give warning signs before the basement floods, and early repair can help you avoid thousands in water damage costs. Call us if you notice any of these:
- Pump runs constantly or cycles on and off every few seconds
- Loud grinding, rattling, or humming or other strange noises without pumping
- Pump doesn't turn on when the pit fills
- Water in the pit is stagnant or smells
- Visible rust, corrosion, or a stuck float switch that may need switch replacement
- Discharge line is frozen, clogged, or leaking
Our diagnosis focuses on finding the root cause before replacing parts.
Common repairs include replacing float switches, check valves, and impellers, clearing clogged intake screens, and fixing discharge lines. When switch problems keep causing repeat issues, we may recommend mechanical vertical or dual-float switches to help prevent pump failure. If a repair costs more than about half the price of a new pump, we'll tell you and recommend full replacement only when repair is no longer the better option instead. A simple pour test with five gallons of water can confirm whether the pump turns on and clears water flow correctly.
Sump Pump Replacement in Lehi, Utah
Sump pumps last roughly 7 to 10 years, but lifespan can vary based on use and maintenance. Sump pumps should be inspected at least once a year, and annual inspections can identify worn components before they fail. If yours is older than that, has failed more than once, or was a builder-grade unit installed with the home, replacement is cheaper than the flood it will eventually cause. We remove the old pump, clean the pit, and install a new pump with a fresh check valve so you're not left with a weak link in the system.
Many Lehi homes built in the last decade came with an inexpensive pedestal pump or a bare pit with no pump at all. If you're not sure what you have, we'll inspect it for free and point out any issues annual maintenance can catch before failure.
Basement Flooding? We Handle the Cleanup Too
If your sump pump already failed and you're standing in water, call us now. Fast help limits further damage and helps protect your home from structural damage. Water Damage Specialists is a full-service restoration company, so the same call gets you:

This combination of restoration and plumbing services helps address the source of the flooding and the cleanup in one call.
We document everything for your insurance claim and can bill most carriers directly.
Ejector Pump Installation in Lehi
An ejector pump is different from a sump pump. It handles wastewater from basement bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens that sit below the main sewer line, moving it through the home's plumbing and up to the main sewer system. If you're finishing a Lehi basement with a bathroom, you'll almost certainly need one to help protect the basement and crawl space from backup-related water issues.
It is illegal to tie a sump pump discharge into the sanitary sewer system.
We install sealed ejector pump systems with vented basins, check valves, and alarms, and we handle the sewage-rated plumbing that connects them. Because ejector pump failures mean raw sewage in your basement, we also offer sewage cleanup if one has already backed up.
Protect Your Basement Before Runoff Season
Don't wait for spring snowmelt or heavy rainstorms to push the water table up and create problems. Schedule a free sump pump inspection or get a quote for installation today.
- Maintenance services should include testing the system at least twice a year plus an annual inspection.
- Regular maintenance includes cleaning the sump pit and inspecting the float switch.
- Battery backup systems can provide hours of protection during heavy inflow, and a high-water alarm can alert homeowners if sump pit water levels rise.
- We can also share maintenance recommendations during your inspection.
Sump Pump Installation Cost in Utah
Every home is different, but here's what Utah homeowners typically pay with flat rate ranges:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Sump pump repair | $200 – $600 |
| Sump pump replacement (existing pit) | $500 – $1,500 |
| New sump pump installation (cut pit, new discharge) | $1,500 – $3,500 |
| Battery backup system | $500 – $1,500 added |
| Ejector pump installation | $1,800 – $4,500 |
Factors that move the price include whether a pit already exists, slab thickness, discharge line length and routing, pump quality, and whether you want a backup system. We give a written estimate before any work starts with upfront pricing and flat rate pricing, and there's no charge for the inspection, so there are no hidden fees.
Compare that to the cost of basement flooding: drying, drywall, flooring, and mold remediation on a finished Lehi basement routinely runs $5,000 to $20,000. A sump pump is cheap insurance.

Sump Pump Installation in Lehi
A working sump pump is the single best defense a Lehi basement has against groundwater, spring runoff, and storm flooding, especially with Lehi's cold winters, melting snow, spring snowmelt, and intense spring storms. A failed one is the reason we get so many basement flooding calls every March through May, and fast service helps prevent further damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Water Damage Specialists installs, repairs, and replaces sump pumps and ejector pumps across Lehi, and because we're also a full water damage restoration company, we're the only call you need if the pump has already failed and the basement is wet.
Headquartered on State Street in Lehi since 2007. Free estimates. Licensed, insured, and available 24/7.
Lehi's water table runs high on the west side near Utah Lake and along the Jordan River corridor, and new subdivisions across the city sit on soils that hold water during runoff season. If your basement has ever had damp carpet, efflorescence on the concrete, or standing water in a window well, a sump pump system helps keep the basement dry and protects against water intrusion in homes with high water tables.
A complete sump pump installation from Water Damage Specialists includes:
- Locating the low point of the basement and cutting the sump pit into the slab
- Setting a heavy-duty, perforated basin with a sealed, gasketed lid, sized at least 18 inches in diameter and 24 to 30 inches deep
- Placing clean, washed gravel around the basin to improve drainage and help filter out debris that could affect the pump
- Installing a submersible or pedestal pump matched to your home's water volume, with a 1/2 HP primary submersible pump recommended where groundwater surges are heavier
- Check valve, discharge piping, and exterior routing that directs water well away from the foundation
- Discharge line sloped downward continuously so the system drains properly and helps avoid freezing
- GFCI-protected outlet for the pump setup to reduce shock risk
- Optional battery backup or water-powered backup pump for power outages
We size every system to the home. An oversized pump short-cycles and burns out early; an undersized one can't keep up with excess water during heavy rain.
