Why Should I Install a Sump Pump?

A sump pump helps prevent basement flooding by removing excess water from your home’s lowest point. It protects your foundation from water damage, reduces the risk of mold growth, and helps maintain a dry, safe living space. If your home is in a flood-prone area or has poor drainage, a sump pump is a smart investment.

What Type of Sump Pump Should I Install?

There are two main types: submersible and pedestal sump pumps. Submersible pumps sit inside the sump pit and operate quietly underwater, while pedestal pumps have the motor mounted above the pit for easier maintenance. The best option depends on your home’s needs, basement size, and budget.

How Long Does It Take to Install a Sump Pump?

A standard sump pump installation takes about four to six hours, depending on the complexity of the job. If a sump pit needs to be dug or additional drainage modifications are required, installation may take longer. A professional plumber can assess your home and provide a more accurate time estimate.

Where Should a Sump Pump Be Installed?

A sump pump is typically installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawl space where water collects. It should be placed in a sump pit with proper drainage to efficiently remove excess water. Professional installation ensures the pump is positioned correctly for optimal performance.

Do I Need a Battery Backup for My Sump Pump?

Yes, a battery backup system keeps your sump pump running during power outages, which are common during storms. Without a backup, your pump may fail when you need it most, increasing the risk of basement flooding. Investing in a backup system adds extra protection and peace of mind.

Can I Install a Sump Pump Myself?

While DIY installation is possible, professional installation ensures proper placement, drainage, and electrical connections. Improper installation can lead to pump failure, water damage, or ineffective drainage. Hiring a plumber guarantees the job is done right and up to code.

How Much Does Sump Pump Installation Cost?

The cost of sump pump installation depends on the type of pump, labor, and any additional work needed, such as digging a sump pit or installing drainage pipes. While the upfront cost varies, the investment can save you thousands in potential water damage repairs. A professional plumber can provide an estimate based on your home’s needs.

How Do I Maintain a Newly Installed Sump Pump?

Regular maintenance includes testing the pump every few months, cleaning the intake screen, and ensuring the discharge line is clear. Checking the float switch and making sure the pump activates properly can prevent unexpected failures. A professional plumber can perform routine inspections to keep your sump pump working efficiently.

Roy’s installed a new electrical panel and re-did all the wires coming into the box. We had a dedicated plug set up for the sump pump as the precious owner had it plugged into a power strip. They added a GFI outlet in the garage and plug for the garage door opener. Precious owner had it rigged with an extension cord. We had a team of 3 men from Roy’s, Noah, Nick and Stephen who were professional and did a great job. Still more things to be done.
