Constant running means either the check valve failed (water flowing back into the pit) or groundwater is entering faster than the pump can discharge.

A: Strongly recommended, especially for Lake Padgett Estates and the older Land O Lakes subdivisions. Pasco County electrical service in the rural-edge sections has a documented history of 24 to 72 hour outages during severe thunderstorms and hurricane events. A primary pump that runs on grid power is useless during the exact event you need it for. Battery backup is the lower upfront cost option. Water-powered backup is the bulletproof option with no battery to maintain. We will recommend the right one in the FREE diagnosis based on your specific property and outage history.

A: Usually yes, combined with a perimeter French drain at the lake-facing slab edge. Lake-adjacent properties experience groundwater pressure that tracks the lake level during the rainy season, and the moisture finds its way under the vapor barrier into the slab where it shows up as musty smells in low-traffic rooms. The FREE diagnosis includes a moisture probe survey to confirm the water source is groundwater intrusion and not a plumbing leak or roof drainage problem. If groundwater is confirmed, the French drain plus sump install eliminates the source.

A: Yes. Pasco County requires a permit for new sump pit installations deeper than 36 inches and any discharge line tied into the municipal stormwater system. We pull the permit at the Pasco County building department, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector at your Land O Lakes address. For master-planned communities like Wilderness Lake Preserve, Connerton, Stonegate, Suncoast Pointe, or Concord Station we coordinate HOA approval for discharge line routing before scheduling. Permit and approval fees are itemized in the written quote.

The $279 minimum applies only to APPROVED repair labor on the work itself, never to the diagnostic visit. If you decide not to proceed, you owe nothing.
