Sump Pumps
Sump Pumps for Indianapolis and Central Indiana Residents
Any buildup of excess water below ground level can quickly cause damage to your home, particularly basements and crawl spaces. Installing a sump pump allows you to be proactive and protect your house and belongings from water damage.
At Chapman, we’ve been offering professional and reliable sump pump services to Indianapolis residents for more than four decades, including installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance. If you have a sump pump project in mind, including a plumbing remodel, we have you covered.
What are the Benefits of a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is a cylindrical pump that is placed in the lowest point of your basement. It moves water from the basement, out of the house, and away from your property.
Here are some of the primary benefits of installing a sump pump in your Indianapolis home:
- Protects the paint and other wall coverings from peeling
- Protects basement appliances (washer, dryer, spare freezer, and more) from corrosion
- Reduces mold, mildew, and fungus growth
- Discourages termites and other insect invasions
- Improves indoor air quality
- Ensures a dry basement for year-round comfort
- Proves peace of mind, no matter what the weather brings

Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
A sump pump is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent major water damage to your home and protect your valuables. If you’re ready to add one to your home, we’re here to help.
One of our Indianapolis sump pump installation specialists will come to your house and offer a professional recommendation for a new unit that is the right fit for your home.
There are two types of sump pumps available:
- Pedestal Sump Pumps: This uses an above-the-ground motor to drive wastewater into the discharge pipes.
- Submersible Sump Pumps: This uses underwater pumps to drive wastewater.
Similar to the other major appliances in your home, a sump pump will one day need to be replaced when it no longer operates at peak efficiency. With proper maintenance, a typical sump pump will need to be replaced about every 10 years.
You can always count on Chapman for professional and reliable sump pump replacement for Indianapolis homeowners.
Sump Pump Repair
Since sump pumps are only active when the soil around your house becomes oversaturated, it’s important to keep an eye on your unit during times of increased rainfall. It’s best to address issues early on to prevent a small problem from turning into a big, more costly one.
Give Chapman’s Indianapolis sump pump repair specialists a call if you notice any of the following:
- Strange Noises Coming from the Unit
- Noticeable Vibrations
- Failing to Turn On
- Signs of Rust or Damage to the Exterior
- Water Pooling Outside the Drain
Sump Pump Maintenance
Sump pumps are low-maintenance for the most part; however, it’s still important to have a licensed plumber conduct regular maintenance on your unit.
Be proactive and prevent costly water damage with Chapman’s sump pump maintenance services in Indianapolis and the surrounding area. An expert member of our team will ensure your unit is in good working order by testing the critical components of the pump, checking water levels, and inspecting the pit and pipes for any clogs.
