Frequently Asked Questions
The most frequently asked questions about sump pump repairs and sump pump installations from our customers in Victoria.
How do I know if my sump pump needs repair or replacement?
If it runs constantly, won’t start, or makes odd noises, it may be failing. Most sump pumps last between 3 and 7 years, depending on how often it cycles on and off. Regular testing can help detect issues early.
Should my sump pump have a battery backup?
Yes. In power outages (common during storms), a battery backup ensures your home stays protected. It’s essential for finished basements or homes in areas prone to flooding.
How often should I test or maintain my sump pump?
Test it at least twice per year—before the rainy season and in early spring. Cleaning the sump pit and checking the float switch is also recommended.
What size sump pump do I need?
Most homes perform well with 4/10 horsepower units, but this depends on groundwater levels, size of the sump chamber and the length of the pipes. We can recommend the right size after inspection.
Do you offer warranties on new installations?
Yes, we provide comprehensive Smell Good service and warranty options covering parts and labour for our installations. Included with this is one complimentary service every year – we’ll reach out to you to schedule it before the rainy season, making sure you and your home are safe.

How Does a Sump Pump Work?
A sump pump sits in a basin, or “sump pit,” and activates when water levels rise. It pumps water safely away from your home, protecting your foundation, basement, and belongings from water intrusion.
Clean, Safe, Professional Repairs
Our licensed technicians arrive on time, wear protective gear, and treat your home with respect. We clean the pit, inspect the discharge line, thoroughly test the system, and provide long-term repair or replacement solutions.
