Sump Pump Installation Services

Why Do You Need a Sump Pump?

Sump pumps are a key component of your building’s waterproofing system. You’ll often find them installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace. They work by collecting water that accumulates around the foundation of your building and pumping it away, preventing water from seeping into your property and causing damage.

There are several reasons why you may need a sump pump installed in your home:

• To prevent basement flooding caused by heavy rain or snowmelt
• To protect against rising groundwater levels during periods of high rainfall
• To keep your basement dry and free from mold, which causes health issues and structural damage.
• To avoid costly repairs and potential insurance claims due to water damage

What’s the Difference Between Submersible and Pedestal Sump Pumps?

Submersible pumps are placed in a sump pit, usually made of plastic or concrete, at the lowest point in your basement or crawlspace. This type of pump is designed to be fully submerged in water and can handle larger volumes of water than pedestal pumps.

Pedestal pumps are installed on top of the sump pit and have a long, narrow shaft that extends down into the pit. They’re less expensive than submersible pumps but may not be as effective in handling large amounts of water.
