Sump Pumps — Done Right by a Local Master Plumber
Bucks County's clay soil, storm-heavy summers, and older homes mean a working sump pump isn't optional — it's the difference between a dry basement and a $30,000 restoration claim. Angermeier Plumbing installs, replaces, and services primary sump pumps, battery-backup pumps, and water-powered backups from Zoeller, Liberty, and Basement Watchdog.
We size the pump to your pit and static head, install a properly rated check valve, and — critically — set the discharge line to daylight away from your foundation so the water you just pumped out doesn't cycle right back in.

Our Process
Our Sump Pump Installation Process
1. Pit and load assessment
We measure your pit depth and estimate expected water volume so we size the pump correctly.
2. Pump selection
Cast-iron submersibles for durability, matched HP to your static head. Backup options for storm-prone Bucks County properties.
3. Discharge & check valve
New check valve to stop backflow and cycling. Discharge line pitched to daylight away from the foundation.
4. Battery backup pairing
Optional AGM-battery backup pump wired to fire during power loss — usually when you need it most.
5. Full-flow test
We fill the pit, watch the switch, and confirm the pump cycles cleanly under load before we leave.
What We Handle

Primary Pump Replacement
Same-day replacement of a failed submersible or pedestal pump before the next storm arrives.
Battery Backup Installation
AGM battery backup pumps that fire automatically during PECO/PPL power outages.
Water-Powered Backup
Water-driven backups for homes on municipal water — no batteries to replace, unlimited runtime.
New Pit & Radon-Sealed Lids
Installing a fresh pit in a previously-unpumped basement, with sealed lids where radon mitigation is a concern.
Discharge Line Corrections

Answers
Sump Pumps FAQs
How much does a sump pump cost installed?+
In Bucks County a primary submersible pump replacement typically runs $600–$1,100 depending on horsepower and site conditions. Battery backup systems add $700–$1,400. Fixed written quotes given on site.
How long do sump pumps last?+
Most residential sump pumps last 7–10 years. Homes with high water tables and heavy cycling wear pumps out faster. Test yours every spring.
Do I really need a battery backup?+
In Bucks County — yes. The biggest storms that overwhelm sumps are the same ones that knock out power. A pump without backup is a pump that fails exactly when you need it.
Can I install my own sump pump?+
You can, but a wrong-sized pump, missing check valve, or improperly pitched discharge line will fail on the first heavy storm. We install for a fixed price with warranty.
How often should my sump pump run?+
It depends on water table and season. Once every few minutes during a heavy rain is normal. Constant cycling in dry weather usually means a bad check valve.
What areas do you serve?+
Southampton, Warminster, Warrington, Feasterville, Bensalem, Yardley, Richboro, Huntington Valley, Newtown, Doylestown, Jamison, Hatboro, and surrounding Bucks & Montgomery County, PA communities.
