Sump Pumps & Backup in Armonk & North Castle, NY

Armonk (Town of North Castle) skews newer than the coastal villages: the typical home was built around 1989, though 43% still pre-date 1980. On large wooded lots, drainage and grading often matter more than the basement wall itself. Storms that bring heavy rain often bring power outages, which is when pumps are needed most and most likely to fail. A battery backup or water-powered backup, plus a discharge line that sends water well away from the house, are worth discussing for any home that relies on a pump. Plumbing work in Westchester can require a county trades license in addition to a home improvement license; see our licensing guide.

Sump pumps companies for Armonk & North Castle

How we pick: we list up to six companies per page. Independent firms come first, then firms based outside Westchester, then franchise or network affiliates. Companies that name the town as served come before those that serve the whole county. Listings are free, not paid, and not an endorsement. Home improvement license status was looked up in the Westchester County consumer license search on Oct 26 to 27, 2026, plumber license status in the county trade license search on Oct 27, 2026, and NYS mold license status in the state Labor Department data set; each profile shows what we found.

Plumbing licenses

Westchester County issues plumbing licenses separately from home improvement licenses, through its trade licenses search. We searched that database on Oct 27, 2026. Where a company or its plumber appears there, the license number is shown on its profile. A name that is not found means only that we found no record under that name, so ask any company that installs or connects a sump pump who does the plumbing and confirm that license number with the county. Work outside the building, such as a yard drain, is often not plumbing work, and rules vary by town.

How many sump pumps companies serve Armonk & North Castle?

How long does a sump pump last?

It depends on the pump and how often it runs. Pumps in wet basements that cycle frequently wear out sooner. Test yours every few months by pouring water into the pit.

Do I need a backup pump?

If your basement takes water whenever the pump stops, a backup is cheap insurance against an outage or a stuck float switch.
