Sump Pump Repair Experts Rooted in Akron
Rick Sanders started Akron Pump Pros to handle sump pump issues that hit Summit County homes hard during the humid continental winters, when freezing ground and heavy melt push water into older basements across Highland Square, Goodyear Heights, and Kenmore. Working from the shop at 73 E Exchange St, he focuses on the clay-heavy soils and sloped terrain that send water toward foundations in Ellet, Firestone Park, North Hill, and West Hill, where many houses predate modern drainage.
The team serves nearby Cuyahoga Falls and Kent the same way they cover Middlebury and the University of Akron area, showing up with the right parts for the aging sump systems common in these neighborhoods. Rick keeps the schedule straightforward so homeowners in Stan Hywet Hall's vicinity or near the Akron Zoo can reach someone who knows the local water patterns without waiting days.
Akron Pump Pros stays owner-operated, giving every call direct attention instead of routing through dispatch. That approach fits the real conditions around the Akron Art Museum and throughout the county, where quick response to spring thaws and summer storms prevents bigger basement problems.
I started Akron Pump Pros after my own basement took on water during a cold snap in Highland Square, where older homes sit on the rolling terrain common across Summit County. That experience showed me how the humid continental winters freeze ground around foundations in neighborhoods like Goodyear Heights, Kenmore, Ellet, Firestone Park, North Hill, West Hill and Middlebury, pushing water toward sump systems that need prompt repair. Working near Stan Hywet Hall, the Akron Zoo, University of Akron and Akron Art Museum, plus calls from Cuyahoga Falls and Kent, has taught me the exact soil and drainage quirks in these spots. We operate from 73 E Exchange St, Akron, OH 44308, open Mon–Fri 8am–6pm and Sat 9am–2pm.

What Akron, OH Customers Say
“After heavy spring rains my sump pump in the basement near the Cuyahoga River kept running nonstop and finally quit. Akron Pump Pros replaced the entire unit with a Zoeller 1/2 HP model and extended the discharge line farther from the house foundation. The basement stayed completely dry through the next two storms.”
“My old sump pump was short-cycling every few minutes and the check valve had failed. They installed a new check valve, cleaned out the pit, and added a battery backup unit. It now runs only when needed and I no longer hear the constant humming at night.”
“Water was seeping in around the sump basin during heavy downpours on Tallmadge Avenue. The crew sealed the liner, replaced the float switch, and regraded the gravel bed. No more moisture on the floor and the pump only activates during actual high water events.”
