We Repair Sump Pumps That Fail When You Need Them Most
Common issues we see during Milwaukee flooding events include:
- Stuck or failed float switches that prevent the pump from turning on
- Burned-out motors that quit mid-cycle or won’t respond at all
- Frozen or clogged discharge lines that stop water from exiting properly
- Battery backup failures when the power is out and your pump needs support
- Power loss or tripped circuits that leave your system completely offline
We carry replacement parts and backup systems on hand, so in most cases, we can repair or temporarily stabilize your system on the spot.

Professional Sump Pump Installation in Milwaukee
If your home doesn’t have a sump pump—or your current one isn’t doing the job—it’s time for a proper installation. At Capital Plumbing, we install high-quality sump pump systems designed to keep Milwaukee basements dry year-round.
From historic homes near Bay View to newer builds in Wauwatosa and West Allis, we’ve installed sump pumps in every kind of basement and crawl space found across Milwaukee County.
Tailored Installation for Milwaukee Homes
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our licensed plumbers evaluate:
- Your basement’s layout and drainage pattern
- Water table levels common to your neighborhood
- Existing or failing sump systems (if applicable)
- Power reliability for backup considerations
Once we assess your setup, we recommend and install a sump pump system that matches your property’s needs and local conditions.
Types of Sump Pumps We Install
We install a range of pumps and components to ensure reliable, long-lasting protection:
- Submersible Sump Pumps
Installed inside the sump pit, these are ideal for most Milwaukee homes due to quiet operation and high performance. Great for finished basements. - Battery Backup Sump Pumps
When the power goes out during a storm, these kick in automatically to keep water moving. We highly recommend backup systems for areas prone to power outages or heavy flooding.
- Pedestal Sump Pumps
The motor sits above the pit—easier to access and maintain, often used in older Milwaukee basements with tight spaces or limited pit depth. - Water-Powered Backup Pumps
For homes with stable municipal water pressure, we offer water-powered backups that don’t rely on electricity or batteries.
Why Local Expertise Matters
Milwaukee’s freeze-thaw cycles, lake-effect storms, and aging sewer systems all contribute to basement water issues. Our team understands how local soil types, grading, and water tables affect your foundation—and we install systems that perform, not just pass code.
Whether you’re in Shorewood, Glendale, or right in the city, we bring decades of experience protecting Milwaukee homes from water damage.
