A properly sized, properly installed sump pump is the last line of defense against basement flooding. All-Ways Dry installs and services sump pump systems throughout Mid-Michigan, including battery backup options for storm season peace of mind.
Your sump pump is only as good as its installation. We size every pump for your specific water volume and install it correctly the first time.

Learn More →An undersized sump pump can't keep up with Michigan's heavy rainstorms. An improperly installed pump can fail at the worst possible time. All-Ways Dry sizes every pump for your specific application and installs it with proper float switches, discharge lines, and check valves.
We also discuss battery backup options with every installation, when Michigan's power goes out during a heavy storm (exactly when you need your sump pump most), a battery backup keeps it running.
“All-Ways Dry installed a basement perimeter drain system in our home in North Branch. They showed up when promised. They were courteous and clean. Job was completed in a timely manner and no surprise fees. I would highly recommend James and Eric if you have a wet basement!”
“We used All-Ways Dry for our wet basement. Water came in during every rain fall. Eric and the team did a great job and were on time and efficient. They cleaned up everything. I waited a year to write this review and can confirm the basement has been dry ever since.”
“All-Ways Dry provided a fair, written estimate and stuck to it exactly. The crew was professional, thorough, and cleaned everything up perfectly. My basement has been dry ever since. Couldn't be happier.”
Test your sump pump by pouring water into the pit until the float rises and the pump activates. Listen for the motor and check that water is being discharged through the outlet pipe. Test before storm season every year.
Pump sizing depends on your basement's water table depth, drainage system size, and local rainfall patterns. We size every pump appropriately, an undersized pump will run constantly and burn out prematurely.
A battery backup is strongly recommended in Michigan where power outages during storms are common. The worst time for your sump pump to fail is during a heavy rainstorm, exactly when power outages occur.
Properly sized and installed sump pumps typically last 7–10 years with periodic maintenance. We recommend testing your pump annually and replacing it proactively around the 7–8 year mark rather than waiting for failure.
