Sump Pump Installation

Your sump pump is an important system in your home. It’s designed to prevent water from flooding your basement. After all, no homeowner wants to deal with a flooded basement!

A sump pump is installed at the lowest point of your home and sits on standby, waiting for heavy downpours. As it rains, the soil becomes oversaturated. That rainwater has to go somewhere. Your sump pump keeps water from collecting in your basement or around your foundation by draining it through its system.

Essentially, your sump pump is like a naturally constructed pit, a hole carved below the main surface of your basement floor. The pump itself sits in that hole. The pump has valves that sense when the water levels rise. If the water level gets too high, the pump starts to push excess water away from your home and into a designated drainage area.

Typically, the sump pump drains into a well, creek, or pond. The location of the drain is important because you don’t want the water to drain somewhere where it would be easy for the water to flow back to the house.

Your technician will help you to determine the best drainage point for your system, based on your property and your local municipality’s codes.

When Do I Need a Sump Pump?

Instead of spending time searching for “sump pump installation near me,” contact Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling for a consultation to see if sump pump installation is beneficial for you. Common reasons that homeowners might need a sump pump include:

  • You live in an area where snow and rain are common
  • Your home is in a floodplain
  • You have a finished basement

We see a lot of snow in New Albany! That snow melts eventually, and the water has to go somewhere. In addition, we often see seasons of high rainfall. This poses a major issue for homeowners. If you have a basement in your home, it’s possible that flooding can occur.

High moisture causes a host of issues beyond flooding. Wet basements are at an increased risk for mold, which can impact the air quality in your home. A sump pump is designed to collect and remove moisture from your home.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are several types of sump pumps available. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling will help you to determine which system is right for you. The type of pump will determine your cost for installation. Other factors that determine the cost include the type of flooring you have in your basement, the type of drainage required, and the cost of the permits for installation.

While there is a cost involved with sump pump installation, you’ll often save money in the long run. The cost of the installation is nowhere near the price of refinishing your basement.

How Long Do Sump  Pumps Last?

This is a great question. Sump pumps typically last between 7 and 10 years, depending on usage. If your sump pump is making loud noises, runs for a long period of time, or cycles more frequently than it did previously, it might be time for a new one.
