For many New England homes, seasonal flooding in your basement is a major concern. In addition to dampness seeping in, homes on poured concrete foundations are susceptible to collecting water when we least expect it. If you are looking to reduce the stress and wear on your foundation, or want to turn your basement into a living space, it could be time to consider a sump pump.
Heritage Home Service is your expert team for professionally installing sump pumps in Southern Maine. We work with many major brands to ensure you have the right pump for your home, or repair the one you currently have to ensure it works correctly all season long.

Maine Sump Pump Repair
If your home is located near a high water table or natural spring, there’s probably a sump pump working in your basement. Sump pump motors can run several times per day to ensure excess moisture and standing water does not accumulate in your home, adding to their mechanical wear over time. If your sump pump is working overtime, it could experience breakdowns or fail entirely when you need it most.
The highly-trained technicians at Heritage Home Service are ready to take on any sump pump problems you may have. When you make a service call, we’ll arrive on schedule to inspect the pump for issues, determine if a repair is necessary or if a replacement is needed, and give you all the information and options to make the best call for your family and budget. No matter what you need, we can get your sump pump fixed and back to working condition.

What Our Customers Are Saying
When my AC quit suddenly, Heritage came in a timely fashion and did an excellent job. The four gentlemen who helped me were professional and knowledgeable. Joe diagnosed the problem and was very thorough in explaining the cost of repair versus replacement. Bobby, Harrison and the electrician Liam did the replacement and were wonderful to work with. They explained the process carefully, answered all my questions and completed the job efficiently and quickly. I would certainly call the company again for any HVAC, plumbing or electrical needs. Thanks Heritage!

First time using Heritage, as two other plumbers I’ve used in the past gave me long lead times. Heritage answered my call personally, and scheduled me same day-amazing considering it was a Saturday! I had a leaking outdoor spigot, and given the drought, waiting a week to fix it was out of the question. The technician sent out, James Shallow, could not have been more professional, knowledgeable and personable. He showed up on time, did the job seamlessly and without issue. He spent time educating us as to how to avoid this problem in the future, and it was a genuinely pleasant experience. I will most definitely use & recommend Heritage again (request Jimmy).

Alex came to fix a water main leak at my home which was pre-manufactured in the late eighties. He found and fixed the leak quickly. After the job was complete I spoke with him about the cause because this is the third time in a year with a leak. He spent the time with me explaining the material used for piping in my place and checked the water pressure. The pressure was on the high end and we both concluded between pressure spikes and old plastic pipes. I asked for an estimate to replace all the pipes. He was able to give me an estimate on the spot and found financing with very reasonable terms. Two days later Heritage Home Services was here with two trucks and completely changed out the piping in a day. In short. This place answers the phone. Gets technician on the job quickly. Great knowledge. Cleaned thoroughly before leaving.

We called several plumbers and I got “we are too busy” and “it’s too small of a job”. Not with heritage though! They were able to get us on the schedule in a timely manner and helped us with our plumbing issue. Thank you Zach! Zach was quick and professional! Will definitely use again!

I’ve dealt with Heritage for many years because of their dependability. They are not the cheapest, for sure, but if you need a plumbing or HVAC system installed or serviced/repaired, there’s none better. I needed repairs to be done on slim duct covers that were damaged after having siding installed on my home. I called Heritage because they were the company that installed the original mini-split system in my house several years earlier. John Lindonen and another technician (unfortunately, I don’t remember his name) showed up as committed and did the repair work. They were very thorough, explaining every issue to me and answered all of my questions. They were polite, and extremely knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys to my family or friends.

The AI interactive was ok but screwed up my ph# so never got a call. However, Camile arrived and spent time discussing my points and activities performed, helped me tremendously and ultimately didn’t need service. He was professional, informative, and transparent so Heritage, please acknowledge his great service!

Derek Clark from Heritage Home Services did a fantastic job for us. He installed a new garbage disposal and fixed a leaky bathroom faucet quickly and efficiently. He was professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant to have in our home. He took the time to explain everything, completed the work with care, and left the area clean when he was finished. We really appreciated his friendly attitude and excellent service. We’d definitely recommend Derek and Heritage Home Services to anyone looking for a reliable plumber!

Bryce was great. Hard working and professional working in a hot attic on an 80 plus day. I don’t know how they do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why do Maine homes need sump pumps?
Maine’s heavy rainfall, spring snowmelt, and high water tables put many homes at risk for basement flooding. A sump pump collects groundwater that seeps into your basement or crawl space and pumps it away from your foundation, protecting your home from water damage, mold, and structural issues.
-
What type of sump pump is best for my Maine home?
The best sump pump depends on your needs. Submersible pumps are quieter and installed inside the pit, while pedestal pumps sit above the pit and are easier to service. Heritage also installs battery backup sump pumps to keep your basement protected during power outages from Maine storms.
-
How often should a sump pump be replaced?
Most sump pumps last 7 to 10 years. Signs that replacement may be needed include frequent cycling, unusual noises, rust or corrosion, failure to activate during rain, and running continuously without shutting off. Heritage can inspect your pump and recommend repair or replacement.
-
Does Heritage install battery backup sump pumps in Maine?
Yes. Battery backup sump pumps provide essential protection during power outages, which are common during Maine’s coastal storms and nor’easters. Heritage installs backup systems that activate automatically when your primary pump loses power.
-
How do I maintain my sump pump?
Basic maintenance includes testing the pump by pouring water into the pit, checking the discharge line for blockages, cleaning debris from the pit, and verifying the float switch moves freely. Heritage recommends professional inspections at least once a year.
