Our Story
Sump Pump Repair Experts in Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne Pump Pros was started by Tom Kessler, a lifelong Fort Wayne resident who grew up dealing with the challenges of Allen County's humid continental climate. From heavy spring snowmelt flooding basements in older homes around West Central and North Anthony to sudden summer downpours overwhelming systems near Promenade Park and the Lincoln Museum, Tom saw how these conditions demand reliable sump pump work that holds up year after year.
Operating from the shop at 985 N Coliseum Blvd, the team serves neighborhoods like Downtown, Lakeside, and nearby cities including New Haven and Huntington. Tom runs the business as owner-operated, focusing on clear upfront quotes and workmanship customers can inspect on the spot rather than rushed fixes that fail when winter freezes hit or summer rains test the systems again.
What sets the crew apart is their hands-on knowledge of local housing stock, from aging foundations in West Central to newer builds near the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo and Allen County Public Library, where soil conditions and water tables create unique drainage demands.
I started Fort Wayne Pump Pros after years of helping neighbors in Allen County with flooded basements during cold winters, especially in older homes around West Central and North Anthony. Growing up near the Lincoln Museum and Promenade Park, I saw how the humid continental climate with hot summers and sudden freezes hits sump systems hard in Downtown and Lakeside neighborhoods. We work from 985 N Coliseum Blvd and keep hours Mon–Fri 8am–6pm, Sat 9am–2pm, handling calls out to New Haven and Huntington as well.

Testimonials
What Fort Wayne, IN Customers Say
“My sump pump quit during a July downpour and water reached the basement floor. Fort Wayne Pump Pros swapped the unit for a new Zoeller and rerouted the discharge line away from the foundation. Basement stayed dry through the next three storms.”
“The old pump kept short-cycling and the check valve was stuck. They replaced the valve, cleaned the pit, and added a battery backup. It now runs only when needed and the backup kicked in during the August outage.”
“Heavy spring rains overwhelmed the existing pump and the alarm went off at 2 a.m. They installed a larger-capacity submersible pump with a new float switch. Water level stays below the slab and the alarm has stayed silent.”
