My brick saw's water pump died halfway through a big patio job last Friday

I was cutting pavers for a 400 square foot patio in the afternoon sun. The pump just stopped pushing water, so the blade started smoking after about ten cuts. I had to stop everything, run to the supply house, and drop $180 on a new pump to finish the day. Do you guys fix the pumps or just replace them when they go?

That "run to the supply house" moment is the worst. I mean, it feels like everything is built to fail right when you need it most, not when it's convenient. Makes you wonder if planning for a backup is just part of the job now.

My neighbor's sump pump died at 2 AM during that big storm last week. He had to drive 45 minutes to find a 24-hour hardware store that was open. It really does feel like you need a backup plan for your backup plan these days.
