Sump pumps are installed in the basement or crawlspace to prevent flooding. Pumps are installed in a pit, which is known as a sump pit. When the water level begins to rise, the pump turns on and pumps the water out safely away from your home. The sump pit is situated at the lowest level of the basement or crawlspace.
The main types of sump pumps are submersible pumps and pedestal pumps. Submersible pumps are located in the pit under the waterline, while pedestal pumps have the motor outside of the water. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of pump. A battery backup is recommended to ensure the pump turns on when the power goes out in a storm. We can help you select the right sump pump for your home and complete the installation.
