Well Pump & Sump Pump Services in Chattanooga, TN
Rural and semi-rural properties around Chattanooga often rely on a well pump for household water and a sump pump to keep basements and crawl spaces dry, and when either one fails, the consequences show up fast, no water pressure in one case, a flooded basement in the other. South East Total Service installs, repairs, and replaces both submersible and jet-style well pumps along with sump and sewage pumps for homes and businesses throughout the region.
Signs Your Well Pump Needs Attention
- Little to no water pressure, or pressure that fluctuates unpredictably
- The pump cycling on and off rapidly, even with no water being used
- Air sputtering from faucets
- Cloudy or sandy-looking water from the tap
- A pump that's noticeably older and has never been serviced
Well Pump Installation & Repair
We install and repair both submersible pumps, which sit down inside the well casing, and jet-style pumps, which sit above ground and pull water up through suction. Repairs commonly involve the pressure switch, pressure tank, or the pump itself, and we diagnose which component has failed before recommending whether a repair or full replacement makes more sense for the age and condition of your system.
Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Attention
- The pump running constantly, even during dry weather
- Unusual grinding, rattling, or humming noises
- Visible rust or worn components inside the pit
- A pump that's more than 7 to 10 years old and has never been tested
- Water pooling in the basement or crawl space despite having a sump pump installed
Sump Pump Installation & Battery Backup
A properly sized sump pump is the difference between a dry basement and a flooded one during heavy rain. We install new sump pump systems, replace failing units, and add battery backup systems so the pump keeps running even during a power outage, which is exactly when many basement flooding events happen.
Sewage Pumps
For homes and businesses where gravity alone can’t move wastewater to the main sewer or septic line, we install and repair sewage pumps that handle solids without clogging, keeping lower-level bathrooms and fixtures functioning reliably.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my well pump is failing?
Common signs include little to no water pressure, a pump that cycles on and off rapidly, air sputtering from faucets, and cloudy or sandy water. Any of these warrants an inspection before the pump fails completely.
What's the difference between a submersible and a jet well pump?
A submersible pump sits down inside the well casing and pushes water up, while a jet pump sits above ground and pulls water up through suction. Submersible pumps are generally more efficient for deeper wells, while jet pumps are common in shallower well setups.
How often should a sump pump be tested?
We recommend testing a sump pump at least once a year, ideally before the rainy season, by pouring water into the pit and confirming the pump activates and drains it properly. A pump that hasn’t been tested in several years is a common cause of basement flooding surprises.
Do you install battery backup systems for sump pumps?
Yes. A battery backup keeps your sump pump running during a power outage, which is often exactly when flooding risk is highest during a storm.
How much does well pump replacement cost?
Cost depends on well depth, pump type, and whether the pressure tank or switch also needs replacement. We provide an upfront, flat quote after inspecting the system, so you know the full cost before work begins.
