Trusted Sump Pump Repair Since 1981

When your sump pump needs repair, you need a licensed plumber who can assess the full system and fix it correctly before the weather gives you another test.

Haller has been serving Central and Eastern Pennsylvania since 1981. The Lehigh Valley and the broader region sit in low-lying terrain fed by the Lehigh and Susquehanna rivers, and spring snowmelt combined with March and April rainfall creates the kind of sustained water table pressure that exposes every weakness in a sump system.

We handle every repair with care and stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Contact us online or give us a call to get started.

Very professional, detailed, excellent service
Iโ€™ve used Haller Ent. several times over the years, and they continue to exceed my expectations every single time. Most recently, they handled a major repair for a broken sewer pipe in my front yardโ€”no small jobโ€”and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish.
The technicians Moises, Ben, Mike, and Danโ€”were absolutely exceptional. Not only were they highly skilled and efficient, but they also took the time to explain the process, answer my questions, and make sure I felt confident every step of the way. They went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied.
I have recommend Haller to several people and each one had positive experiences. I won't hesitate to call them again and will continue to recommend them to anyone in need of reliable, high-quality plumbing services.

Excellent serviceโ€”Nick was courteous, knowledgeable and efficient. He went beyond what he was asked to do.
We just had a service check done on our AC unit. Our technician, Jonathan was very courteous and thorough.
Did an excellent job and fixed the problem in a short time frame. I would
definitely call again for yearly maintenance or any other HVAC issues
Triangle installed our small commercial system in 2016 and we've been experiencing failures nearly every year since. We kept trying to get them to send somebody to root cause the system for the failures, but every time they would just come out and replace the same blown fuse or a wire and send us a bill for ~$1000. We tried communicating our need for a real solution with the main office, but it just sent us to a call center in California. Finally gave up on them and had someone from Haller come out to look at the system, and on the first trip they found multiple errors in the system set up, fixed those, and sent us a bill for about 1/3 the cost. At least the positive here is that we found our new, go to HVAC company, with Haller. Thank you, Hunter!
Customer service contact,In a word Wonderful. Angie is the best. Service Tech Chris who did maintenance professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They enhance the the Company. Kudos to them.
As far as Brayden.i give him a 5 star review..
Nevin did an outstanding job diagnosing and solving a problem with thermostats in our HVAC system. He was patient and professional throughout the service visit.
Late night emergency repairs; but, made the proper fix quickly and efficiently. Much appreciated. Thanks

Common Sump Pump Repairs Our Team Handles

In Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, where spring brings sustained periods of heavy rainfall and snowmelt that push groundwater tables higher than any other time of year, sump pump failures are not a matter of if but when for systems that have not been maintained.

Our licensed plumbers are equipped to diagnose and repair the full range of sump pump problems accurately.

A float switch that is stuck, tangled, or has failed electrically is the most common cause of a sump pump that will not activate when water rises in the basin. We inspect the switch, free it or replace it, and confirm the pump activates and deactivates at the correct water levels. In Pennsylvania basements where the spring water table rise is gradual and then sudden, a float that sticks at any point in its travel creates real risk.

A sump pump motor that hums but does not move water has a seized or damaged impeller. A motor that does not run at all may have a failed capacitor or burned windings. We assess which component has failed, determine whether the motor can be repaired or the pump needs replacement, and restore the system to full pumping capacity.

A check valve that has failed allows water to flow back into the basin from the discharge line after the pump cycles off, causing the pump to run again almost immediately to remove water it just pumped out. In Central and Eastern Pennsylvania basements where spring water tables keep the pump running frequently, a failed check valve accelerates motor wear significantly. We replace the valve and verify backflow is prevented through a full cycle.

A discharge line that has cracked, separated at a joint, or become frozen in winter is not moving water away from the home. We trace the full discharge run, locate the failure point, and repair or replace the affected section. Discharge line termination matters as well. Water dumped too close to the foundation in a heavy Pennsylvania spring rain creates the same problem the pump is trying to solve.

A sump pump without a working battery backup is a liability in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, where the storms heavy enough to raise the water table are the same storms that knock out power. We inspect backup systems, test battery condition and capacity, and repair or replace components that are not providing the protection they were installed to deliver.

A sump pump alarm that has failed gives you no warning when the pump stops working or when water levels in the basin exceed normal. We test alarm systems, replace failed sensors, and verify the alert triggers at the correct water level so you have advance warning before water reaches the basement floor.

Why Neighbors Count on Haller for Sump Pump Repairs

A sump pump that appears to be working and a sump pump that will actually protect your basement in a sustained Pennsylvania spring storm are not always the same thing. You need a plumber who tests the full system, not just the obvious failure point.

Homeowners throughout Central and Eastern Pennsylvania count on Haller because we understand the seasonal demands this region places on basement waterproofing systems.

Every sump pump repair Haller completes is performed by a licensed plumber. Sump pump systems involve electrical connections, discharge plumbing, and basin integrity that all need to be assessed together, not in isolation. 

Haller is a BBB Accredited Business with more than four decades of service across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania. That record reflects a consistent standard of work and a commitment to treating every customer fairly.

Sump pump failures during storms are the most consequential kind, and they are also the most predictable. Our emergency service is available around the clock so you can get a technician on the way when the weather is at its worst.

We tell you what the repair will cost before we begin. No surprises when the job is done.

Should You Repair or Replace Your Sump Pump?

Most sump pump component failures are repairable. A few conditions make full pump replacement the more practical answer.

Haller gives homeowners an honest assessment so the decision is based on what actually protects the home rather than what is cheapest in the short term.

A motor that has seized or burned out due to sustained overload cannot be economically repaired. In Central and Eastern Pennsylvania homes where a pump has been running hard through multiple spring seasons without maintenance, burned motors are common. Replacement restores full capacity and resets the system’s reliability.

Sump pumps in this region work harder than the national average during spring months. A unit over 7 to 10 years old that has required repeated repairs is approaching the point where the next failure will likely occur at the worst possible time. Our plumbers will give you an honest read on whether the remaining service life justifies another repair.

An aging primary pump with no backup system is a single point of failure in a region where the storms that raise the water table are the same storms that knock out power. If a repair to the primary pump prompts a broader look at the system, adding a battery backup at the same time is worth considering.

A sump basin that has cracked or shifted allows soil and groundwater to enter in ways that affect the pump’s intake and the overall system integrity. Basin repair or replacement is a more involved job than component repair but is the right call when the basin itself has failed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my sump pump running constantly even when it has not been raining?

A pump that runs continuously usually has one of three problems. The first is a float switch that is stuck in the activated position and signaling the pump to run regardless of actual water level. The second is a failed check valve allowing water to drain back into the basin immediately after each pump cycle, creating a loop. The third is a high water table that is genuinely keeping the basin full, which is common in low-lying areas of the Lehigh Valley and the Susquehanna River plain during wet seasons. Our plumbers can determine which situation you are dealing with and address it at the source.

What happens if my sump pump fails during a storm?

In Central and Eastern Pennsylvania, where spring storms can bring an inch or more of rainfall in a few hours on ground that is already saturated from snowmelt, a failed sump pump during an active storm means water in your basement within hours. The damage compounds quickly. If your pump fails during a storm, call our emergency line immediately. If the pump has stopped working and water is rising, shutting off power to the basin area and moving valuables away from the floor is the right first step while you wait for a technician.

Should I have a battery backup sump pump?

In this region, yes. The storms that produce enough rainfall to raise the water table in a Central or Eastern Pennsylvania basement are the same storms that are most likely to knock out power. A primary pump without battery backup is a single point of failure exactly when the stakes are highest. Our plumbers can assess your current setup and recommend a backup system sized appropriately for your basin and your home’s risk profile.

Why is my sump pump running but not moving water out of the basin?

A pump that runs but does not discharge water has either a failed impeller that is no longer moving water through the pump body, a blocked intake screen, or a discharge line that is blocked or has separated at a joint and is dumping water somewhere other than outside the home. We inspect the full system from the pump intake to the discharge termination point to locate the failure.

How do I know if my sump pump will handle a serious storm?

The honest answer is that you may not know until you test it. Annual testing before the spring season, which in Central and Eastern Pennsylvania typically means February or March before snowmelt begins, is the best way to confirm the pump activates, moves water at the correct rate, and that the check valve and discharge line are intact. Our plumbers can perform that assessment and identify any components that are approaching failure before the season demands full performance from the system.
