Reliable sump systems begin with the details.
A sump pump is only as dependable as its float setup, discharge piping, check valve and power supply. Viper installs, services and reconfigures sump systems.
What we can help with
- Primary sump pump installation
- Battery backup pump systems
- Pit cleaning and float adjustments
- Discharge piping and alarms
How we approach the work
Inspect the pit and water entry
We check sediment buildup, pump condition, water levels, inlet elevations and existing discharge arrangements.
Select a sensible configuration
Pump selection and float elevations depend on site conditions and the system design.
Test operation
We test pumps, switching and discharge flow, and discuss backup options where appropriate.
Questions we hear from homeowners
Should I have a battery backup sump pump?
A properly designed backup can be helpful during power loss or primary pump failure. Its runtime depends on load, battery condition and system design.
Why does my sump pump run constantly?
High groundwater, a stuck float, check valve or discharge issues may be contributing. The cause needs to be checked.
Do sump pits need cleaning?
Yes. Sand and sediment can interfere with floats and pumps; periodic pit servicing can reduce the risk of problems.

Every sewer and foundation system is different. Tell Viper what you're seeing and we'll help determine a sensible next step.
