What happens if my sump pump fails in the middle of the night?
Our emergency response center operates 24/7/365, including all holidays and overnight hours. When you call our emergency line at 513-513-2469 at 2AM, you'll speak to a live Cincinnati-based emergency dispatcher who will immediately send the closest available technician to your home.

How much does an emergency sump pump service call cost in Cincinnati?
Our emergency service calls start at $199, which includes the emergency dispatch, diagnostic assessment, and emergency recommendations. Any necessary repairs, parts, water extraction, or temporary systems are additional, but we provide upfront pricing before proceeding with any work.

What if my basement is already flooding?
If your Cincinnati basement is actively flooding, our emergency response includes high-capacity water extraction equipment that can remove up to 2,000 gallons per hour. Our technicians will first address the immediate water situation, then diagnose and repair the sump pump system. For extensive water damage in areas like Columbia-Tusculum or Delhi Township near the river, we coordinate with certified water restoration companies if needed.
Can you repair any brand of sump pump during an emergency?
Yes, our emergency vehicles are stocked with parts for all major sump pump brands and models commonly found in Cincinnati homes. We regularly service Zoeller, Wayne, Liberty, Flotec, Basement Watchdog, and other brands popular in the Greater Cincinnati area. If we don't have a specific part, we can install a temporary emergency system while sourcing the correct part.
What neighborhoods in Cincinnati do you serve for emergency calls?
We provide emergency service to all Cincinnati neighborhoods including Downtown, Over-the-Rhine, Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Oakley, Clifton, Northside, Westwood, Price Hill, Mt. Adams, East Walnut Hills, College Hill, Pleasant Ridge, Columbia-Tusculum, and all other areas within the city limits. We also serve all surrounding communities in Hamilton County and portions of Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties.
Do you offer emergency battery backup installation during flooding?
Yes, our emergency technicians carry complete battery backup systems that can be installed during active flooding situations. This is particularly important for Cincinnati homeowners in areas prone to power outages like Northside, College Hill, and Mt. Washington. We can install temporary or permanent battery backup systems 24/7, even during storm conditions.
How long do emergency sump pump repairs take?
Most emergency repairs in Cincinnati homes are completed within 1-2 hours of our technician's arrival. Complex situations involving water extraction, electrical issues, or discharge line problems may take 2-4 hours. If we can't complete permanent repairs immediately, we always install a temporary emergency system to protect your home while sourcing specific parts or scheduling additional work.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency technician?
When you call our Cincinnati emergency line, our dispatcher will provide specific guidance based on your situation. Generally, we recommend: 1) If water is approaching electrical outlets, turn off power to the basement if you can safely reach your panel. 2) Remove valuable items from the floor if possible. 3) If you have a shop vac, you can begin removing water. 4) Take photos for insurance purposes. Our technician will handle everything else upon arrival.
