There are times when drainage problems, high groundwater or a hard rain put your property at risk. In those instances, a professional sump pump is what you need to ward off water damage. At ROD Plumbing, we offer the kind of dependable water management solutions that homeowners and businesses in Taylor, TX look for, from sump pump services and repair to new installations.
The job of a well-placed sump pump is to move excess water off your property so you do not have to deal with basement flooding, hidden moisture or water intrusion. Our experienced plumber is on hand to provide the reliable service required to keep your home secure, be it for an upgrade, an emergency fix or putting in a new unit.
Properties in Taylor and the rest of Central Texas face their share of drainage obstacles due to the way the local soil and rainfall behave. The clay content in our soil will hold onto moisture in wet weather, then turn hard and compact when it is dry. Add in some heavy rain, and you can have landscapes and discharge lines overwhelmed if water is not handled correctly. A professional installation is the best way for a property owner to control that excess water and avoid the expense of foundation damage.
Before we put forward a recommendation, ROD Plumbing takes time to evaluate the property. Our technicians will look at water levels and any signs of water intrusion to determine what the situation calls for. We put in solid systems like submersible and pedestal sump pumps and can add battery backup for good measure.

Unusual sounds from the motor
A float switch that has stuck
Problems with the backup system or reduced capacity

More Than Just Sump Pumps
For many in Taylor, a sump pump is one piece of a broader plan for water management. We also handle the drain cleaning, sewer line work and general plumbing upkeep that is necessary to protect your home. Hard water in Central Texas can leave its mark on your plumbing components with mineral buildup, which is why we recommend regular checkups to catch things before they require major work.
We serve both residential and commercial clients in Taylor and the vicinity with same-day options and written estimates for whatever urgent problem may arise.
We have a fondness for this part of town. Taylor is a fine community with a lot of history and character. It is nice to see the local business thrive and for residents to head over to the Downtown District or have a meal at Louie Mueller Barbecue. But with the hot summers and the occasional deluge that comes with our weather, you want to be sure your water management is in order. A good sump pump gives you peace of mind when the weather turns.
