Sump pump installation plays a vital role in maintaining a safe and dry basement. This service is indispensable in preventing water damage, mold growth, and electrical hazards.

When it comes to sump pump installation, Mr. Rooter Plumbing has got you covered. We can complete the installation in just a day to provide you with years of protection. Whether you prefer a submersible or pedestal sump pump, our expert technicians can handle it. The sump pump is optimally installed at the lowest point of your home's foundation and is ready to spring into action when needed.

Considering that sump pumps rely on electricity to function, we strongly advise adding a sump pump backup battery to your system.

Going the extra mile can be the difference between a dry basement and costly water damage.

FAQs about Sump Pumps

How does a sump pump work?

A sump pump operates by detecting a certain water level in a sump pit and pumping the excess water away through discharge pipes. It continues running until the water level drops below the pump's threshold.

What types of sump pumps are there?

There are two main types of sump pumps:

1. Submersible sump pump: It’s installed just below ground level (at the lowest point of a home's basement). It collects water in a basin, and when the water level rises, the pump automatically removes it through a discharge tube.
2. Pedestal sump pump: It sits above the sump pit with a base reaching into the pit to pump water away. While noisier than submersible pumps, pedestal sump pumps are suitable for narrow or shallow sump pits.

What is the best type of sump pump?

The best sump pump for your home depends on your property's drainage, sump pit layout, and more. If possible, we recommend submersible sump pumps for their quieter operation.
