Sump pumps are less common in Southern California than in wetter parts of the country, but homes with basements, crawl spaces or low lots near a hillside still rely on them. They tend to fail when they've sat idle and the first big storm arrives, so a test before the rainy season is worth the few minutes it takes.

Sump Pump Installation and Repair in Irvine: What To Know Locally

Hard imported water and homes built on concrete slabs drive most calls here. Many homes sit on concrete slabs, which is why slab leaks are one of the area's most common emergency calls. Half of the homes in Irvine were built before about 2001. Newer homes tend to have copper or PEX with plastic drains, so calls here are more often about water heaters, fixtures and pinhole leaks than about worn-out pipe. Most homes here are rentals, so tenants should tell their landlord right away, but shut off the water first if it's actively leaking.

Around Irvine, sump pump installation and repair typically runs about $910 to $2,850, before any permit, wall or slab access, or repairs to finishes. Plumbers cover all 12 Irvine ZIP codes and nearby East Irvine and Tustin.
