Stop The Drip handles sump pump installation and sump pump repair for homes across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. A sump pump moves water that collects in a crawl space or under a basement floor. We install new pumps, and we replace the ones that have quit.
Some crawl space water comes from a leaking supply line or drain instead of the ground. That calls for finding the plumbing leak before any pump goes in. As a plumber serving Nashville and the towns around it, we look at where the water starts. Then you get the quote in writing.

A sump system has a few working parts. A pit, called the sump, collects water at the low point. A float rides up with the water and turns the pump on. The pump pushes the water up a discharge line and out of the house.
On a new installation, the pump goes into the pit with a check valve on the line above it. The check valve stops the water in the line from falling back into the pit when the pump shuts off. The discharge line carries the water outside and away from the foundation.
Before we finish, we pour water into the pit and watch the pump run a full cycle. It should start as the float lifts and stop once the water level drops.
A home inspectors' trade group names a jammed float as one of the most common reasons sump pumps fail. The float gets caught between the pump and the side of a cramped pit. A float stuck low leaves the pump off while the water keeps rising.
The check valve and the discharge line can fail too, and we repair both. When the pump itself is worn out, sump pump replacement can make more sense than a repair. We look at the pump and the pit, then tell you which way we would go.
A sump pump moves groundwater and runoff that collect in the pit. Sewage rising from a basement floor drain is a sewer backup, a drain or sewer line problem. We sort out which one you have when we look at the job.
NOAA's climate averages for 1991 to 2020 at the Nashville airport show about 50 inches of rain a year. March through May are the three wettest months in those averages. They also show about 14 days a year with an inch of rain or more. A sump pump does its heaviest work in wet stretches like these.
A standard sump pump runs on house power. If a storm knocks out the power, the pump stops with it. A battery backup pump is a second pump that runs on a battery when the power is out. Federal flood guidance on Ready.gov says to consider a sump pump with a battery.
We install battery backup pumps with new sump pumps and add them to working systems. La Vergne sits at the center of our service area, which reaches about 30 miles out.

Hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through drain and sewer lines. It scours grease, scale, sludge and roots off the pipe wall and flushes them down the line.

they are awesome! They came out quickly both times I called and were honest and fair in their pricing. Will use them for all future plumbing. Highly recommend
Called the business and was able to get a same day appointment for my clogged kitchen drain and broken garbage disposal. They replaced the garbage disposal and did a hydro jetting. Throughout the process Freddie was very professional, friendly, and informative.He let me know all the steps of the process, gave options and his recommendations. At the end of the day, everything is fixed and he performed multiple tests to verify their work. Overall satisfied with this company .
