Your sump pump is often out of sight — but it should never be out of mind. Because it works hardest during storms, problems can go unnoticed until it’s too late. If you notice any of the following warning signs, it may be time to schedule sump pump repair or consider sump pump replacement:
If you’re unsure about your system’s condition, the experts at Keefe’s can inspect it and recommend the right solution for your home.
Proper sump pump installation is about far more than placing a pump in a pit. To ensure reliable protection, the system must be correctly sized, strategically positioned, and professionally connected to an effective drainage system.
At Keefe’s, we take a comprehensive approach to sump pump installation:
Choosing the right pump for your home is critical. A system that’s too small may struggle during heavy rainfall, while one that’s too powerful may short-cycle and wear out prematurely. We evaluate your property’s size, elevation, and water intrusion risks to recommend the best option.
Correct sump pit placement ensures optimal water collection and drainage. Our team carefully assesses your foundation and grading to maximize efficiency.
An improperly directed discharge line can send water right back toward your home. We design drainage systems that move water safely away from your foundation.
In the Greater New Orleans area, power outages often accompany severe storms. That’s why we strongly recommend battery backup systems. A battery-powered sump pump keeps your home protected even if the power goes out. We can install and maintain backup systems for added peace of mind.
When a storm is rolling in, and your sump pump stops working, every minute matters. Water damage can escalate quickly, soaking insulation, damaging flooring, compromising structural materials, and creating the perfect environment for mold growth.

The GNO area presents unique challenges, making sump pump installation especially important.
Much of the Greater New Orleans area sits below sea level. With groundwater so close to the surface, hydrostatic pressure can force moisture into foundations and crawl spaces.
Sudden downpours can overwhelm drainage systems. A properly functioning sump pump helps manage excess water before it becomes a serious issue.
Tropical storms and hurricanes bring intense rainfall and prolonged flooding risks. A dependable sump pump — especially one with a battery backup — provides crucial protection during extreme weather.
Our region’s low elevation means water doesn’t always drain naturally or quickly. A sump pump actively moves water away from your home, helping prevent long-term damage.
Most sump pumps last between 7 and 10 years with proper maintenance. Regular inspections can help extend their lifespan and prevent unexpected failures.
Yes. In the Greater New Orleans area, storms frequently cause power outages. A battery backup system ensures your sump pump continues operating even when the power goes out.
We recommend professional maintenance at least once per year, ideally before hurricane season. Regular service helps catch minor issues before they require major sump pump repair.
The correct size depends on your home’s square footage, water table conditions, and drainage system. Our experts will evaluate your property to recommend the ideal system for your needs.
