Pump Repairs

From sump pumps and sewage ejector systems to well and lift station pumps, your plumbing system depends on these essential components to keep water and waste flowing properly. When a pump fails, it can lead to serious issues—flooding, backups, water damage, or system shutdowns. That’s why Miami Plumbing Contractors offers expert pump repair services throughout Miami. Our licensed plumbers diagnose and fix pump problems fast, restoring full function and preventing costly damage to your home or business.

Types of Pumps We Repair in Miami

There are several types of pumps used in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Each serves a unique purpose—and each can break down over time due to wear, buildup, or electrical failure. Miami Plumbing Contractors has the tools, parts, and know-how to repair all major pump types:

Sump Pumps: Prevent basement or crawlspace flooding during heavy rain or rising groundwater.
Sewage Ejector Pumps: Move wastewater from lower levels (like basements) up to the main sewer line.
Lift Station Pumps: Common in commercial properties and multifamily buildings to move wastewater across distances or elevations.
Circulation Pumps: Used in hot water systems or radiant heating to maintain consistent flow.
Well Pumps: Supply water from private wells to homes not connected to city water.

We’re familiar with all major brands and models, including Zoeller, Liberty, Goulds, Myers, and others. Whether it’s a submersible pump, pedestal pump, or high-pressure model, we’ll inspect the unit, identify the issue, and perform precise repairs or recommend replacement when needed.

Signs Your Pump Needs Repair

Pumps don’t always stop working all at once—many fail slowly or intermittently before they break down completely. Catching early warning signs can save you from major damage and emergency service calls. If you notice any of the following issues, contact Miami Plumbing Contractors for an inspection:

Unusual noises (grinding, humming, or rattling)
Frequent cycling on and off
Water pooling near the pump or in the basement
Bad odors from ejector or sewage pumps
No power or response from the pump switch
Flooding or backup despite pump operation

Our Miami plumbing team uses diagnostic tools and on-the-spot testing to evaluate your pump’s performance. We check float switches, electrical connections, impellers, pressure switches, discharge lines, and other key components to locate the source of the problem quickly.

Emergency Pump Repair in Miami

Pump failures often happen at the worst times—during a heavy rain, in the middle of the night, or when your building is at full capacity. That’s why Miami Plumbing Contractors offers 24/7 emergency pump repair services across Miami. If your sump pump stops during a storm, your lift station alarms go off, or you have sewage backing up from a failed ejector, we’ll respond fast to stop the damage and get your system back online.

We arrive fully equipped to handle most common repairs during the same visit. If the pump is beyond repair, we can install a replacement quickly and ensure it’s properly configured for your system’s demands.

Pump Replacement and Upgrades

Sometimes, repair isn’t enough—especially if your pump is outdated, underpowered, or has already failed multiple times. In those cases, our plumbers will recommend the right replacement unit and install it professionally with minimal downtime. We consider factors like system capacity, pressure requirements, drainage needs, and energy efficiency to help you choose the best pump for your application.

We handle replacements for:

Residential sump pumps (including battery backup systems)
Sewage and grinder pumps
Commercial lift station pumps
Water pressure booster pumps
Well and irrigation pumps

We’ll also dispose of the old unit, check your system for leaks or pressure issues, and calibrate everything for optimal performance. If needed, we can upgrade your setup with alarms, battery backups, or smarter control systems to improve reliability.

Routine Maintenance for Pump Longevity

Pumps work hard behind the scenes—and like all mechanical systems, they need regular maintenance to last. Miami Plumbing Contractors offers preventive maintenance services to keep your pumps running smoothly. This includes cleaning components, inspecting seals and valves, checking electrical connections, and testing flow rates and activation cycles.

For commercial clients, we offer service agreements that include scheduled maintenance, priority response, and discounted emergency repairs. This proactive care can extend the life of your pumps and minimize expensive downtime or plumbing failures.

Battery Backup Systems for Sump Pumps

Power outages are a common cause of sump pump failure—especially during Miami’s storm season. We install and maintain battery backup systems that keep your sump pump running even when the power goes out. These systems provide peace of mind and added flood protection during hurricanes or heavy rainfall events.

Lift Station Services for Commercial Properties

Lift stations require expert care and quick response when problems arise. We provide full-service support for commercial lift stations, including pump replacement, float switch calibration, control panel repairs, and alarm troubleshooting. Whether it’s a shopping center, apartment complex, or industrial facility, we keep your wastewater system moving reliably.
