A sump pump that fails during spring melt can flood a basement fast. RJC Plumbing replaces failed sump pumps with a properly sized unit and adds battery backup systems for homes across Augusta and Central Maine.
What sump pump work do we handle?
We replace sump pumps that have stopped working, are running constantly, or are simply worn out, and we service the rest of the system while we are there.
The new pump is sized to the job rather than grabbed off a shelf, and we can add a battery backup system so the pump keeps running when the power goes out.
Spring melt and basement water in Central Maine
Snowmelt and spring rain put extra water around foundations in Augusta, Hallowell, Gardiner and the surrounding towns, and a sump pump that has sat idle all winter suddenly has work to do.
If your pump failed during spring melt, call us. Sump pumps that failed are replaced with a properly sized unit and, if wanted, a battery backup.
Why add a battery backup?
A standard sump pump needs power to run. Storms that bring heavy rain can also take the power out, which is exactly when the pump is needed most.
A battery backup system gives the sump a second way to keep running during a power outage. We can add one to a new pump or to the pump you already have.
What to expect when you call
A real person answers the phone. Tell us what the pump is doing and we will let you know how soon we can get there — same-day service is often available.
You get a clear explanation of what failed and a price before we start. Estimates are free, pricing is upfront, and there are no hidden fees.
What sump pumps customers say
Jordan Shaw

“The whole RJC team is fantastic. I called on a Friday afternoon after my hot water heater malfunctioned, they were here on Monday, worked with the manufacturer to overnight a part, and installed it. Throughout the whole process they were professional, friendly, and timely.”

“Both Madison & Tim were very personable and polite; I was surprised and pleased with the same day service! My water heater failed on Sunday and by 4:00pm Monday a new one was in and running.”
Eric Lambert

“I called at 7am asking if they would have time to change out our anti siphon silcock which was leaking by. Tim was at our home just prior to 3pm. Less than an hour later he had a new valve in place. He had to cut an access hole to get to the existing silcock.”
Sump Pumps questions from Augusta homeowners
Do you install and replace sump pumps?
Yes. We replace failed or worn-out sump pumps with a properly sized unit and service the rest of the sump system while we are on site.
Can you add a battery backup to my sump pump?
Yes. We can add a battery backup system to a new or existing sump pump so the basement stays dry during a power outage.
My sump pump stopped working during spring melt — how fast can you come out?
Same-day service is often available for active water problems. Call (207) 549-0064 and tell us what is happening — a real person answers the phone.
How do you choose the right size sump pump?
We look at how much water the sump takes on and how far the pump has to push it, then install a properly sized unit instead of a one-size-fits-all pump.
Is the sump pump estimate free?
Yes. Estimates are free with no obligation, and you get the price before any work begins. There are no hidden fees.
Which towns do you cover for sump pump service?
Augusta, Hallowell, Gardiner, Farmingdale, Manchester, Winthrop and Waterville, plus the surrounding Kennebec County towns. If you are unsure, call and we will tell you right away.
