Professional Sump Pump Installation Services

A sump pump works by collecting water in a designated pit and automatically pumping it away from your property to an approved discharge point. This makes it an essential system for basements, underground car parks, and properties built on low-lying or sloping blocks.

Our team provides complete sump pump installation services across Brisbane — from basement sump pump installations and underground car park systems through to commercial drainage integration and ongoing sump pump repairs. Whether it's a new installation, replacement of a failed unit, or one of many sump pump installations across multi-dwelling properties, we design, install, and commission the system in-house. Services include:

 

  • Site inspections to determine the best pump size and location
  • Excavation and construction of sump pits
  • Installation of submersible or pedestal sump pumps
  • Integration with stormwater or drainage systems
  • Backflow prevention to protect against sewage contamination
  • Testing and commissioning for reliable operation

We use high-quality pumps from trusted brands to ensure durability and performance, even during Brisbane’s storm seasons.

    I've had LJM do two non-urgent domestic jobs for me recently. All the staff have been courteous and helpful. Their prices seems reasonable and they were happy to do several quote options. Both plumbers have been happy to explain what they are doing and provide on the spot advice. I will definitely call them for my next job.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – absolute legends. Had LJM Plumbing, Gas & Drainage out today and genuinely couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough. Friendly, professional, down-to-earth, explained what was happening, got stuck straight into the job and were just an all-round pleasure to have around. They even tolerated my tiny site supervisor being progressively relocated around the worksite for photographic documentation. He inspected the excavator, supervised the digging and appears satisfied with the standard of workmanship. 😂 It’s surprisingly rare to have tradies turn up and immediately make you feel comfortable and confident that the job is in good hands, but these blokes absolutely did. No drama, no nonsense, just genuinely lovely humans who clearly know what they’re doing. Five stars from me and five stars from the tiny foreman. Would absolutely call them again — although he may insist on operating the excavator next time. Thanks so much, legends! 🙌
