Sump Pumps

A sump pump is a purpose-built device employed to avert basement or crawl space flooding by expelling surplus water. When water builds up, the device activates and distributes the excess water outside of the home.

Heavy amounts of water damage can be irreversible for some appliances or other objects. Having this protective measure in place will ensure that your home is safeguarded against flooding.

Benefits of a Sump Pump

Along with protecting your home from flooding and other water-related incidents, a sump pump can bring you peace of mind that you, your family, and your home will be safe from disaster.

• Property Protection: Sump pumps will safeguard your property and possessions from water-related harm, preventing the need for costly repairs or replacements due to water damage.
• Mold and Mildew Prevention: By keeping moisture levels in check, sump pumps prevent mold and mildew growth, which can harm your health and your home’s structural integrity.
• Increased Home Value: A functional sump pump system can enhance the value of your property, as it demonstrates proactive measures to protect against water issues.

Sump Pump Installation

There are two different types of sump pumps that can be installed in your home. Our plumbers at Scott Hale can help you choose the right style and model for your home and budget.

1. Submersible Sump Pumps: These pumps are placed inside the water-filled sump pit, where they work quietly and are out of sight. They are a good choice for those who prefer a discreet and efficient solution.
2. Pedestal Sump Pumps: With these pumps, the motor is located above the sump pit, making them more visible and louder when in operation. They are cost-effective and easy to access for maintenance but may be less inconspicuous.
