Sump Pumps in Gaithersburg
Protecting Maryland Homes from Flooding
This area of the country tends to be wet, and flooding is a common problem at many times of the year. Flooding has the potential to cause devastating damage to your home. At Mallick Plumbing & Heating, we offer repair, installation, and replacement of sump pumps in Gaithersburg and in parts of Maryland to protect your home from damage.
How Sump Pumps Work
A sump pump is buried in a small hole that is dug at the lowest point of your property, where the flood water begins to gather. When water fills the pit, the motor is activated. The water is drawn into the sump pump and pulled into a pipe, where it is directed safely out and away from your home. Sump pump installation can potentially save you thousands of dollars in repairs, and you may enjoy lower rates for homeowner’s insurance.

Sump Pump Repair, Installation & Replacement
When the flood waters begin to rise, it is important to know that your sump pump will respond as intended. The first step to a properly functioning sump pump is a planning session and expert installation from our professional plumbers. Your safety and the protection of your property are our primary concern.
During planning and installation, we will ensure:
- The best placement of your pump
- That the pump is properly vented
- Connection to a reliable power source
- Precision installation
Any appliance breakdown is annoying and inconvenient, but a sump pump breaking down suddenly is devastating and leaves you vulnerable to flooding. Unfortunately, you may not know it isn’t working until it is too late. For this reason, we encourage you to schedule sump pump maintenance service, so we can spot and fix any issues before your system fails.
Why Choose a Battery Backup for Your Sump Pump?
While a primary sump pump is essential for preventing basement flooding, adding a battery backup system can provide an extra layer of protection. In the event of a power outage or a failure of your main sump pump, a battery backup ensures that your home remains safe and dry. This is especially crucial during heavy storms or flooding events when the risk of basement water accumulation is highest.
Here are some compelling reasons to consider installing a battery backup for your sump pump:
- Uninterrupted Protection: Keep your basement safe even during power outages.
- Automatic Activation: Battery backups activate automatically when needed, providing peace of mind.
- Enhanced Capacity: Many battery backups can pump out water at a higher rate than standard sump pumps, increasing efficiency during emergencies.
- Longer Lifespan: A backup system can reduce wear on your main pump, extending its lifespan.
- Easy Monitoring: Modern battery backup systems often come with alerts and monitoring features, allowing you to stay informed about your home’s protection status.
At Mallick Plumbing & Heating, our experienced technicians can help you select and install the right battery backup system tailored to your needs, ensuring your home remains protected no matter the circumstances. Don’t leave your basement’s safety to chance—contact us today to learn more!

"Explained things in layman terms so it was easy to understand"I had an emergency after Washington Gas said that there was a gas leak from the meter from the regulator and they said that it needed to be replaced immediately. They were able to send someone over in a few hours and although the cost was on emergency rates, the pricing was still competitive among other companies and were very responsive. They had someone come over beforehand to check the leak to see what part needed to be replaced before they had the technician come over which was very helpful. Troy was very knowledgeable and explained things in layman terms so it was easy to understand. I would highly recommend Mallick Plumbing & Heating for future issues.Alice W.
