Sump Pump Installation, Repair & Maintenance

Heavy rain, melting snow, or rising groundwater can put your basement at risk of flooding. A sump pump is one of the most effective ways to protect your home from costly water damage.  

At Arctic Air, we provide professional sump pump installation services across New Jersey, helping homeowners keep their basements dry and their properties safe year-round. 

Signs You Need a Sump Pump 

• Basement flooding during heavy rain 

• Persistent dampness or musty odors in the basement 

• Visible water pooling near the foundation 

• A history of groundwater issues in your area 

• Existing sump pump that frequently fails or is more than a decade old 

If you are experiencing one or more of these issues, installing or replacing a sump pump can help prevent long-term damage. 

When to Install a Sump Pump 

Sump pumps are most often installed during new home construction or basement finishing projects, but they can also be added to existing homes.  

Consider installation if your home: 

• Has a basement or crawl space prone to moisture 

• Sits in a low-lying area where water collects 

• Has experienced flooding in the past 

• Has foundation cracks or signs of water seepage 

Even if you have not had major flooding before, proactive installation can provide peace of mind and protect your investment during extreme weather events. 

Role of a Sump Pump in Your Basement 

A sump pump works by collecting excess water in a basin (sump pit) and pumping it away from your home’s foundation.  

This helps: 

• Prevent basement flooding and water damage 

• Reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth 

• Protect structural integrity by keeping the foundation dry 

• Maintain a healthier indoor environment by lowering humidity levels 

Proper installation is essential to ensure your sump pump activates at the right time and has the capacity to handle heavy water flow. 

Installation Process 

At Arctic Air, we follow a proven process to ensure your sump pump is installed correctly and ready to perform when you need it most: 

1. Site evaluation: We assess your basement or crawl space to determine the best location for the sump pit. 

1. Sump pit preparation: A hole is excavated for the basin, which will collect water before it is pumped away. 

1. Pump installation: We install the sump pump unit, connect discharge lines, and ensure proper backflow prevention. 

1. Electrical connection: The pump is connected to a dedicated power source for reliable operation. 

1. System testing: We run the system to confirm proper operation and water removal. 

1. Final inspection: We verify that the installation meets all local codes and standards. 

We can also install backup systems, including battery-powered units, to ensure protection during power outages.
