Between spring snowmelt and heavier rain events, New York basements earn their sump pumps. Appolo installs, tests, and replaces sump systems — including battery backups for the storms that take the power out right when you need pumping most.
Sump pump services we provide
- Sump pump installation and replacement (pedestal and submersible)
- Battery backup and water-powered backup systems
- Check valves, discharge line routing, and freeze protection
- Annual testing and float-switch service
- Basin cleaning and pump sizing for high-water properties
The pump you never think about is the one that has to work at 2 a.m. in a thunderstorm. We size for your actual water table, test under load, and set up backups so an outage doesn’t become a flood.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do sump pumps last?
About 7–10 years for a quality submersible. If yours is older, cycles constantly, or hums without pumping, replace it proactively — pump failures announce themselves by flooding.
Do I really need a battery backup?
If your basement is finished or the pump runs regularly: yes. The storms that push the most water at your foundation are the same ones that knock power out. A backup buys hours of protection.
Why does my sump pump run constantly?
Either a stuck float switch, an undersized pump, a failed check valve recycling the same water, or genuinely high groundwater. Each has a different fix — we’ll diagnose which one you have.
