What Is a Sump Pump?

This submersible pump is installed in a pit dug at the lowest point of your basement or crawl space. Under ordinary conditions, it sits idly, consuming no electricity — but when it starts to rain heavily outside, groundwater surrounding your home’s foundation channels into the sump pit.

When the water level here rises high enough, the float switch triggers the sump pump to turn on and pump water to the nearest storm drain, detention pond, or dry well, preventing your basement from flooding.

Sump Pump Installation

Whether you have a finished basement or unfinished crawl space, a professional can install a sump pump to provide protection from flooding. Sump pumps can be hardwired into your home’s electrical system or simply plugged into a nearby outlet.

Battery backup systems ensure your basement is protected from excessive storm water even during a blackout.

Sump Pump Repair

Because you never know when the next storm will hit, it’s important to periodically test your sump pump for proper operation. The best method is to add water to the sump pit until the float activates the pump. If this isn’t practical, simply lift the float by hand to activate it. Don’t let the pump run for more than a few seconds without water.

If the sump pump doesn’t work and you suspect mechanical failure, it’s important to schedule a repair from a professional as soon as possible. Your quick response is crucial to ensure protection against flooding in the next unpredictable storm.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pumps

How much does it cost to service a sump pump?

The average cost of repairing a sump pump is around $500. However, it can cost as little as $100 or over $1000, depending on the type of service and the extent of any damage to the sump pump.

Who Do You Call to Service a Sump Pump?

Plumbers are experts at installing plumbing fixtures and appliances. However, not every plumber is trained to install and maintain sump pumps. Whether you need a sump pump installation, repair, or inspection, you want to hire a plumber with the skills and training to perform the task.

Is It Normal to Hear Your Sump Pump?

Sump pump noises do not necessarily indicate the need for a sump pump repair. Some noise is to be expected during normal operations. However, if you hear clanging, clanking, gurgling, or grinding, it can indicate damaged or faulty components.

Can I Run My Sump Pump to the Street?

It is possible to run your discharge hose directly to the ditch or anywhere on your lot so long as it’s at least 10 feet from the lot line. However, you can not discharge your sump pump into the gutters or sewers.

Where Should a Sump Pump Be Located?

A sump pump should be located at the lowest part of your basement or crawl space. This will help ensure maximum effectiveness and provide the greatest protection for your home.

Can I Install a Sump Pump Myself?

Sump pump installation isn’t the most difficult task, but it does require considerable skill and expertise to install properly. While it’s possible, it’s not advisable to install your own sump pump.
