Call (301) 395-3831

A failed sump pump in a Chevy Chase home means water on the basement floor. Most pump failures happen during heavy rain when the pump is needed most. Our team replaces failed and aging units with properly sized submersible pumps, checks the float switch operation, inspects the discharge line for blockage, and confirms the new pump cycles on and off correctly before leaving.

Chevy Chase has some of the oldest and most well-maintained homes in the county. Work here often involves matching older materials or working around original construction details that require extra care.

What We See in Chevy Chase Homes

Chevy Chase grew as a streetcar suburb between the 1890s and the 1930s. In Chevy Chase Village every unit is detached and about 85.6 percent were built in 1959 or earlier, so we're usually working in homes with full basements, original moldings, and nine-foot ceilings.

Where the water is actually coming from gets traced before anything is replaced, because the pump is often the symptom rather than the cause.
