Sump Pump Protection for Central Texas Homes
Central Texas storms can dump a lot of rain in a short amount of time, and when that water has nowhere to go, it heads straight for the lowest point in your home. A properly working sump pump is your first line of defense against a flooded basement, crawl space, or utility room. At CMM Plumbing, we install, repair, and maintain sump pump systems for homeowners throughout Austin and Coupland who want peace of mind the next time the skies open up. Our licensed plumbers size and install the right pump for your property, so it’s ready to work when you need it most.
Signs Your Sump Pump Is Failing
A sump pump doesn’t always fail all at once — usually there are warning signs beforehand. Catching these early can save you from a flooded space and a much bigger repair bill. Watch for:
- The pump running constantly, even when it hasn't rained recently
- Loud grinding, rattling, or humming noises coming from the pit
- Visible rust, corrosion, or a cracked pump housing
- Water pooling near the sump pit after the pump has run
- A pump that hasn't been tested or serviced in several years
- The pump failing to turn on during a manual test
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait for the next storm to find out the hard way. A quick inspection can tell you whether your pump needs a repair or a full replacement.
Sump Pump Installation, Repair & Maintenance
Whether you’re installing a sump pump for the first time, replacing an aging unit, or need a fast repair, our team handles it all. We work with both primary and battery backup sump pump systems, so your home stays protected even if the power goes out during a storm — often the exact moment your pump is working hardest.
- New sump pump installation, sized correctly for your basement, crawl space, or low-lying area
- Sump pump repair and troubleshooting for pumps that run constantly, cycle on and off, or won't start
- Battery backup sump pump systems for protection during power outages
- Float switch and check valve repair or replacement
- Routine maintenance and testing to catch problems before they cause flooding
- Full sump pump replacement when a repair no longer makes sense
We also inspect the surrounding plumbing when we’re on-site, since a failing sump pump can sometimes point to a larger drainage or water intrusion issue affecting your home.
Simple Sump Pump Maintenance Tips
A little regular attention goes a long way toward keeping your sump pump ready when the rain hits. Here’s what we recommend between service visits:
- Test the pump every few months by pouring water into the pit and watching it cycle on and off
- Keep the pit free of debris, dirt, and small objects that can jam the float switch
- Check that the discharge line outside is clear and draining well away from the foundation
- Have your battery backup checked annually so it's ready if the power goes out
- Schedule a professional inspection before the start of heavy rain season
If you’d rather leave the testing and upkeep to a professional, we offer routine sump pump maintenance visits so you never have to think twice about it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pumps
How do I know if my sump pump is failing?
Common warning signs include the pump running constantly, unusual grinding or rattling noises, visible rust or corrosion, water pooling near the pit even after the pump runs, or a pump that’s more than 7-10 years old. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having it checked before the next heavy rain.
How often should a sump pump be tested or serviced?
We recommend testing your sump pump at least twice a year — once before the rainy season and once in the fall. Regular maintenance catches small issues, like a stuck float switch or a clogged discharge line, before they turn into a flooded basement.
Do I need a battery backup for my sump pump?
If your area is prone to power outages during storms — which is exactly when your sump pump works hardest — a battery backup system is a smart investment. It keeps your pump running even if the electricity goes out, so your home stays protected.
What happens if my sump pump fails during a storm?
Without a working sump pump, water can back up and flood your basement, crawl space, or low-lying areas of your home, leading to costly water damage. If your pump fails, call us right away — we respond quickly to get a replacement pump installed and your space protected.
How long does sump pump installation take?
A standard sump pump installation or replacement typically takes a few hours, depending on whether we’re working with an existing pit or installing a new one. We’ll walk you through the process and timeline before we start.
