Sump Pump Tune-Up

A technician tests your sump pump's operation, including the float switch and discharge line, which can catch a developing problem early.

Often A Good Fit When

Your sump pump is running, but hasn't been checked in a while and you'd rather catch a small issue before storm season.

Pros

  • Helps catch a developing issue early
  • Confirms the pump activates correctly
  • Costs less than an active repair
  • Gives you peace of mind ahead of heavy rain

Cons

  • Will not fix an existing problem
  • Cannot reverse normal equipment age
  • May reveal a repair you still need
DIY VS PRO

Should you do it yourself?

One simple thing you can reasonably do yourself is checking whether the float switch moves freely and isn't obstructed by debris in the pit.

Diagnosing an electrical issue, servicing the pump's internal components, or replacing the unit calls for a professional. If the float switch looks fine but the pump still isn't working, a McQuillan technician can take a closer look.

DIY versus Hiring a Pro
An Honest Comparison DIY Hiring a Pro
Time Minutes to check the float switch Often available same-day
Real Cost Just your own time Upfront quote before work
Insurance Not typically applicable Provides a documented service record
Warranty Not typically applicable Backed by our workmanship

Do the looking. Leave the fixing to us.
