Whatever's in the Pit, We Fix It

Sump pumps, sewer ejector pumps, well pumps — PlumbCrazy has serviced every type of residential pump in Harford and Baltimore County since 1986, and we keep a technician on call when something fails after hours.


Three Pumps, One Number to Call


Most homeowners know something is wrong before they know which pump is causing it. Water in the basement, a sewage smell, a toilet that won't flush, no water pressure at the tap — these are pump problems. Here's what each one does and when to call.

Which Pump Do You Have?

Sump Pumps

A sump pump sits in a pit at the lowest point of your basement or crawl space. Its job is to collect groundwater before it reaches your floor and push it out through a discharge line. When it fails — or when a storm overwhelms it — water comes in fast. Homes in Bel Air, Perry Hall, and White Marsh with finished basements depend on these pumps more than most homeowners realize.

Sewer Ejector Pumps

If your home has a bathroom, laundry room, or utility sink below the main sewer line, an ejector pump is what moves that waste up and out. It handles sewage, not groundwater, and a failed ejector pump means sewage backing up into your lower level. This is not a wait-and-see situation.

Well Pumps

Rural homes in Fallston, Phoenix, and northern Harford County run on private wells. The well pump is what pulls water from the ground and delivers it to every fixture in the house. When it goes, so does your water supply. We handle full well pump removal and replacement, and we know how these systems age in this region.

Common Questions About Pump Repair and Replacement

  • How do I know if my sump pump is failing?

    The most common signs are unusual noise during operation, the pump running constantly without shutting off, visible rust or corrosion on the unit, or water in the basement after a rain event. If your pump is more than seven to ten years old and showing any of these signs, it's worth having it inspected before the next heavy storm.

  • What's the difference between a sump pump and a sewage ejector pump?

    A sump pump moves groundwater — it keeps your basement dry. A sewage ejector pump moves waste from below-grade plumbing fixtures up to the main sewer line. They're different systems with different failure symptoms. If you're not sure which one is giving you trouble, call us and describe what you're seeing — we'll point you in the right direction.

  • How long does a well pump last?

    Most well pumps last between 10 and 15 years, though some run longer with good water quality and regular maintenance. Reduced water pressure, air in the lines, or a pressure tank that cycles rapidly are all signs the pump may be nearing the end of its service life.

  • Do you offer financing for pump replacement?

    Yes. We offer FTL financing that covers pump replacement, water line work, and other larger jobs that most lenders won't touch. Ask about financing options when you call, or visit our financing page for details.

  • Do you service pump failures after hours?

    We do. Call (410) 679-7575 any time — the office line connects to an on-call technician after hours and on weekends. Pump failures that threaten your basement or your water supply don't wait, and neither do we.
