Basement Flooding, Water Intrusion, or Pump Problems? We Can Help.

Sump pumps and sewer ejector pumps play an important role in protecting your home from water damage and wastewater backups.

When these systems fail, the results can be costly. Water can enter basements and crawl spaces, wastewater can back up into lower-level plumbing fixtures, and property damage can occur quickly.

GoHero Home Services provides sump pump and sewer pump services in Knoxville, TN, including repair, replacement, maintenance, and new pump installation. Our team helps homeowners protect their properties from flooding, water intrusion, and wastewater issues.

Sewer Pump 1

What Is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is designed to remove water that collects around a home’s foundation.

Water enters a sump basin, and the pump automatically moves it away from the property before it can cause flooding or foundation concerns.

Many Knoxville homes rely on sump pumps to help manage:

  • Heavy rainfall
  • Groundwater accumulation
  • Crawl space moisture
  • Basement water intrusion
  • Foundation protection

When a sump pump fails, water can quickly become a problem.

What Is a Sewer Ejector Pump?

A sewer ejector pump moves wastewater from plumbing fixtures located below the main sewer line.

These pumps are commonly used for:

  • Basement bathrooms
  • Basement laundry rooms
  • Basement sinks
  • Finished lower-level living areas

Without a functioning sewer ejector pump, wastewater may not properly leave the home.

Signs Your Pump May Need Service

Many pump problems begin with warning signs.

Common symptoms include:

  • Pump not turning on
  • Pump running continuously
  • Unusual noises
  • Frequent cycling
  • Water collecting in the sump basin
  • Basement flooding
  • Sewage odors
  • Slow-draining basement fixtures
  • Wastewater backups

If you notice any of these issues, professional pump service may be needed.

Sump Pump Repair

Many sump pump problems can be repaired before complete failure occurs.

Our team repairs:

  • Float switch issues
  • Motor failures
  • Electrical problems
  • Discharge line blockages
  • Check valve issues
  • Pump performance problems

Sump pumps do not last forever.

Replacement may be recommended when:

  • The pump is nearing the end of its lifespan
  • Repairs become frequent
  • The pump is undersized
  • Flood protection needs have changed
  • Major component failures occur

We install reliable sump pumps designed to provide dependable protection during heavy rainfall and groundwater events.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do sump pumps usually last?

Most sump pumps last about 7–10 years with normal use. If yours is older, showing signs of failure, or running constantly, it may be time for repair or replacement.

Do I really need a battery backup for my sump pump?

Yes, especially in Knoxville where heavy storms often bring power outages. A battery backup ensures your pump keeps working even if the power goes out — protecting your basement from flooding when you need it most.

What’s the difference between a sump pump and a sewer ejector pump?

A sump pump removes groundwater and rainwater from your basement or crawlspace. A sewer ejector pump handles wastewater from basement bathrooms or laundry rooms, pumping it up to the main sewer line. Both protect your home, but they serve different purposes.

How do I know if my sump pump is failing?

Warning signs include unusual noises, the pump running constantly, water pooling in the sump pit, or a musty smell in your basement. If it doesn’t turn on during a storm, it’s definitely time for service.

How often should I have my sump pump serviced?

We recommend annual inspections and maintenance. Regular service helps spot problems before they cause flooding and extends the life of your pump.

Can you replace my pump the same day if it fails?

In many cases, yes. Our Knoxville plumbers carry common pumps and parts on our trucks so we can replace or repair most units on the spot.

Do you install new sump and ejector pumps in homes without them?

Absolutely. We install sump systems for added basement protection, and we add sewer ejector pumps for finished basements with bathrooms or laundry areas.

That’s a common situation, especially for homes with private septic tanks. If we discover your pump problem is connected to a backup or failure in your septic system, we can coordinate full septic services — including inspection, repair, or replacement. Our goal is to identify the root cause so both your pump and septic system work together efficiently and reliably.

Do you provide sump and sewer pump services outside Knoxville?

Yes. We proudly serve Farragut, Maryville, Oak Ridge, Powell, Sevierville, Hardin Valley, and surrounding East Tennessee communities.
