FAQ

Signs include loud or unusual noises, failure to turn on, constant running, or water pooling in your basement. Most sump pumps last 7–10 years.

A sump pump removes groundwater to prevent basement flooding. An ejector pump handles wastewater from lower-level bathrooms and laundry areas and pumps it up to the main sewer line.
Most well pumps last 8–15 years. If you’re experiencing reduced water pressure, air in the lines, or frequent cycling, it may be time for service or replacement.
We prioritize emergency calls for failed sump or well pumps and often offer same-day service in West Chester and surrounding towns like Downingtown, Exton, and Malvern. Call us early in the day for the fastest turnaround.
First, check your breaker panel to ensure the well circuit isn’t tripped. If power isn’t the issue, the problem may be with the pump, pressure switch, or tank. We offer emergency well pump diagnostics and replacement throughout Chester County to restore your water quickly.

"I couldn’t be happier with the service that I received today from this company.. I had a failed pump involving my toilet in the basement.. It is a saniflow toilet so it’s all above ground if you know what I mean. Several companies weren’t interested in the job however Golden Rule had no problem taking on the job. Kevin was the technician and was superb! He was extremely knowledgeable along with being very friendly and honest. I can’t say enough good things about my experience.. They knocked off additional costs from their original quote.. I have a 20 year old hot water heater and scheduled them next week to do that job as well!"

"Mark and Sam installed a water backup sump pump. They did an excellent job with the installation and my new back up pumps are working great! In addition to their exceptional service, Mark and Sam were very professional and answered all my questions. Golden rule plumbing is very reasonably priced for their services! I would highly recommend them to anyone for plumbing issues or requests. Thank you Mark and Sam for all your hard work!"

"The technician had patience as he worked in our crawl space, waited for us to find which breaker that turned off the well pump, and completed the job in a decent amount of time."
