Cincinnati's Sump Pump Specialists

Greater Cincinnati gets heavy rain — and when it comes, your sump pump is the only thing standing between your basement and a flood. A failed or undersized sump pump can mean thousands of dollars in water damage in a matter of hours.

Kemphaus Water Solutions installs, repairs, and services sump pump systems throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. We'll assess your basement, recommend the right system for your home, and make sure it's working before we leave.

Sump Pump Services We Provide

Sump Pump Installation

New home or replacing an old system? We install primary sump pumps sized correctly for your basement's water volume and your home's drainage needs.

Sump Pump Repair

Pump running but not keeping up? Making noise? We diagnose and repair sump pump failures fast — before the next rain event causes damage.

Battery Backup Systems

Power outages happen during the worst storms. A battery backup sump pump keeps your basement dry even when the power goes out.

Sump Pump Replacement

Most sump pumps last 7–10 years. If yours is aging or undersized, we'll replace it with a properly rated system before it fails at the worst moment.

Annual Sump Pump Inspection

A quick annual inspection catches worn parts, float switch issues, and discharge line problems before they become emergencies. Schedule one before spring or fall rains.

Sump Pit Installation

No sump pit yet? We excavate and install a properly sized sump pit and liner — the foundation of any effective basement water management system.
