Sump Pump

Sump pump what you’re looking to install in your basement? Here are some things to consider. Don’t jump to conclusions and assume all sump pumps are created equal. Do your research and choose a pump of high quality to assure that it will give you many hours of use. While horsepower is often a good indication of overall power of machinery, this isn’t the biggest factor when choosing a sump pump. You need to be more concerned with the gallons per hour the pump can remove. It’s a good idea to invest in a pump a little larger than you actually need so it doesn’t have to work as hard and will last longer.

A water powered sump pump is one that is run by the water flowing through it instead of receiving power from an electrical source. Water-powered sump pumps can be an energy efficient option when considering a sump pump.

There are two basic types of sump pump:

  1. Submersible – Has a watertight motor that can be immersed in water.

  2. Pedestal – Has an open motor that is supported on top of a column attached to the pump casing.  The motor sits outside the sump pump and sits above the basement floor.

Of these two, they both perform equally as well. A professional waterproofing contractor can help you determine which is the best one for your home.
