Sump Pump Replacement and Back-Up System Installation

Water is one of the primary causes of structural foundation damage. It can cause sinking, heaving, cracks, rot, and other costly issues. The main culprit is precipitation that gathers around the base of your house and seeps in through any opening it can find. A sump pump removes water from around your foundation and pumps it away from your home to dramatically reduce the risk of water-related damages and future foundation repairs.

If your sump pump is failing or if you’re not sure you can rely on it to handle the amount of moisture and precipitation your home receives, a replacement or backup system can save your house from extensive damage.

How does it work?

The purpose of a sump pump is to prevent water damage. If you never see standing water near your home and if you’ve never had issues with water getting into your basement from outside, it’s possible you don’t need a sump pump. For everyone else, however, a sump pump can be a home-saving investment, especially if your house is older and already vulnerable to moisture issues in the basement, foundation, or crawl space.

The water is collected in a pit that’s carefully designed to draw in the water from all around the property. The pump then takes the water from the pit and pumps it to a designated area that’s far enough away from your home to negate any risk of damage. The performance of your sump pump is so crucial, you should only trust its installation and replacement to qualified professionals.

What happens if you don’t replace it?

As with any repair on your home, you can choose not to have it done or to put it off until later. So, what happens if you don’t get your primary sump pump or backup system working? When water from rain or flooding collects around the base of your house again, it will be collected in the pit, but there won’t be any pump to remove it. The pit can overflow, leaving water around your foundation and creating a high-moisture area that can contribute to the aging of your home.

Cost-Effective Drainage for Your Home and Yard

Standing water in your yard invites biting insects like mosquitoes to assume residence around your home. If your yard holds water, it’s probably not very usable after heavy precipitation. A sump pump provides proper drainage for your home and yard without going through an expensive and time-heavy renovation of your lawn grades.
