Can I repair a sump pump myself or should I hire a professional?

You can do basic sump pump checks yourself, but most repairs and any replacement are best for a licensed plumber. DIY suits minor clogs or a stuck float. Hire a pro for electrical issues, sewage pumps, continuous running, or repeat failures. In Bastrop and Austin, Parobek offers same-day service, straightforward pricing, and full diagnostics. Our $75 repair diagnostic is typically waived if we perform the repair, and financing options are available.

Quick checks:

  • Check power/GFCI.
  • Clear debris and lift the float to test.
