Sump Pumps

What is a Sump Pump

 

sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water-collecting sump basin, commonly found in the basements of homes. The water may enter via the perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system, funneling into the basin or because of rain or natural ground water, if the basement is below the water table level.

The sump pumps are usually hardwired into your electrical system. Also, it can be alternatively backed up by a power source. This is because if a storm or anything that can cause a power outage. 

Choosing the Right Pump

There are two types of pumps:

  • Submersible
    • Installed in a sump pit and it can function underwater. This pump is more expensive. In addition, it has a longer lifespan. A submersible sump pump is also quieter and hidden inside the sump basin. It has a cleaner appearance.
  • Pedestal
    • It is an upright pump with an impeller at the base of a pedestal. The motor is above the sump pit. Also, it is less expensive than  submersible pumps. This pump tends to be noisier and it can overheat most likely.
