Dependable sump pump repair and installation in Ruston. North Louisiana storms can dump a lot of water in a short amount of time, and if your sump pump isn’t up to the job, that water ends up in your crawlspace or basement instead of staying outside where it belongs. The technicians at Albritton Service Company install, repair, and replace sump pumps for homeowners throughout the Ruston, LA area, including backup systems for when the power goes out during a storm. If your pump is struggling to keep up or you don’t have one at all, give us a call at 318-251-0885.
Our Sump Pump Services
We handle sump pump work from the ground up. That means new installations for homes that are dealing with water intrusion for the first time, straightforward repairs for pumps that are running but not performing like they should, and full replacements when a unit is simply worn out.
A lot of older homes in and around Ruston were built without a sump pump system at all, or with one that’s long overdue for an upgrade. We’ll take a look at your crawlspace or basement, figure out where the water is coming from, and recommend a pump sized correctly for your situation — not an oversized unit you don’t need.
We also install battery backup and water-powered backup sump pumps. These kick in automatically if your primary pump fails or if the power goes out, which happens more than anyone would like during a North Louisiana thunderstorm or ice event. A backup system is cheap insurance against a flooded basement while you’re out of town or asleep.
When we replace a sump pump, we also check the discharge line, the check valve, and the pit itself to make sure the whole system is working together. A brand-new pump won’t do much good if the discharge line is clogged or the check valve is letting water flow back into the pit. Our technicians walk the whole setup before calling the job done.
Signs You Need Sump Pump Repair
- The pump runs constantly or won’t shut off. This usually points to a stuck switch or a pump that’s fighting more water than it can handle.
- It never turns on, even after heavy rain. A pump that stays silent during a storm may have failed or lost power entirely.
- Loud grinding, rattling, or humming noises. Unusual sounds often mean a worn motor or debris caught in the impeller.
- Visible moisture, standing water, or a musty smell in the crawlspace or basement. This is often the first real sign the system isn’t keeping up.
- The pump is more than 7–10 years old. Sump pumps don’t last forever, and an aging unit is more likely to fail right when you need it most.
- No backup system in place. If your only pump depends on grid power, a single outage during a storm can leave you unprotected.
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth having a Albritton technician take a look before the next heavy rain rolls through.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a sump pump usually last?
Most sump pumps last around 7 to 10 years, though it varies with how often the pump runs and how much water it moves. An aging unit is more likely to fail right when you need it most, during a heavy storm. If yours is getting up there in years, it’s worth having a technician check it before the next big rain.
Do I really need a backup sump pump?
For most North Louisiana homes, it’s cheap insurance. A battery or water-powered backup kicks in automatically if your primary pump fails or the power goes out — which happens more than anyone would like during a thunderstorm or ice event. Without one, a single outage while you’re asleep or out of town can leave your basement or crawlspace flooded.
Why does my sump pump run constantly?
A pump that runs constantly or won’t shut off usually points to a stuck float switch or a unit fighting more water than it can handle. Sometimes it’s a sizing problem, sometimes a failing switch. Either way it wears the pump out faster. Our technicians can check the switch, the sizing, and the pit to find the cause.
My sump pump didn’t turn on during the last storm — what’s wrong?
A pump that stays silent during a storm may have lost power, have a stuck switch, or have failed outright. It’s exactly the kind of thing you don’t want to discover during the next heavy rain. Don’t wait — call 318-251-0885 and we’ll figure out why it didn’t run and whether a backup makes sense for your home.
Can you install a sump pump in a home that’s never had one?
Definitely. A lot of older homes around Ruston were built without a sump pump at all. We’ll look at your crawlspace or basement, figure out where the water is coming from, and recommend a pump sized correctly for your situation — not an oversized unit you don’t need. We’ll also set up the discharge line and check valve properly.
