Living in Brevard County means hot, humid summers, mild winters, and plenty of afternoon thunderstorms. The county’s humid subtropical climate averages about 72°F, roughly 48 inches of rain per year, and many warm days where heavy downpours move through quickly. In recent storms, parts of Brevard have seen well over a foot of rain in just 24 hours, pushing local drainage systems to their limits and causing flash flooding in low-lying neighborhoods.
Even though most Florida homes don’t have basements, high water tables and frequent rain can still push groundwater into crawl spaces, under-slab areas, and low spots around the foundation, leading to standing water, structural damage, and mold growth.
At Inlet Mechanical, we provide professional residential sump pump installation and repair services for homeowners across Brevard County, FL. We design systems for Florida conditions—installing sump pumps in crawl spaces, garages, exterior pits, and yard drainage basins to move water away from your home before it becomes a problem. Whether you need a brand-new pump, a replacement for a burned-out unit, or a battery backup for storm-related outages, our licensed plumbers focus on reliable performance, quiet operation, and long-term protection for your property.
“After one big storm, we found standing water in our crawl space and a musty smell in the house. Inlet Mechanical installed a new sump pump with a backup and drain system—now the space stays dry and we feel a lot better going into hurricane season.”
— Travis K., Homeowner, Merritt Island
From slab-on-grade homes to raised houses with crawl spaces, we install and service sump pump systems designed for Florida’s high water table and intense downpours—helping keep water away from your foundation, reduce moisture, and protect your Brevard County home during storm season.
Because sump systems are often hidden in pits and crawl spaces, problems can go unnoticed until you have flooded storage, damaged insulation, or structural issues. In a warm, wet place like Brevard County, addressing sump pump and drainage issues early helps prevent costly water damage and mold growth around your foundation.
With high water tables, frequent thunderstorms, and occasional extreme rain events, a well-designed sump pump system gives Brevard County homeowners a reliable first line of defense—keeping water away from the foundation, reducing moisture problems, and helping your home bounce back quickly after storms.
If you’re planning to finally fix recurring water issues around your foundation, professional sump pump installation and repair is a smart investment—especially in Brevard County, where heavy rain and high groundwater are part of everyday life.

Most experts recommend testing your sump pump at least once a year, and more often if you live in a wet area or rely on it heavily during storm season. In Brevard County’s climate, we suggest a pre–rainy season checkup to verify that the pump turns on, the float moves freely, the check valve works, and the discharge line is clear. The basin should be cleaned of silt and debris periodically so the pump doesn’t clog or overwork. Regular maintenance also includes testing any battery backup, since backup batteries typically last 3–7 years depending on usage and quality.
In an area like Brevard County—where severe thunderstorms, tropical storms, and hurricanes can knock out power—the time you most need your sump pump is often when the grid is down. A battery backup system keeps a secondary pump running during outages, helping prevent flooding if the primary pump loses power or fails. Depending on battery size and how frequently the pump runs, backups can typically operate for several hours of continuous pumping or 1–3 days of intermittent use—more than enough to ride out many storms. We can help you choose a backup option that fits your home’s risk level and budget.
