Keeping the inside of your home dry can involve a never-ending fight against encroaching groundwater. That same groundwater, if left unchecked, can slowly degrade your house’s foundation.

"Nick was knowledgeable and professional. He discussed fees upfront and walked me through his process. He was able to detect the source of the leak and fix it within an hour. We will definitely use them again." - Matt W.
A sump is a small pit, typically in a basement, that gives excess groundwater somewhere to gather. That, in theory, can prevent excess water from rising into the basement, causing flooding. However, during periods of heavy rain, the sump won’t have sufficient storage capacity to do its job. That’s where a sump pump comes in. It’s a device that can detect rising water or pressure in a sump and activate it to move the water elsewhere. Most sump pumps detect water using a float switch. It’s a similar device to what you’d find inside one of your home’s toilets. The difference is that the float moving up activates the mechanism instead of turning it off.
Typically, sump pumps remove water using a discharge line running 10 to 20 feet from the house’s foundation. If your home has a basement that floods frequently, a sump pump installation can help. You can use one in concert with a French drain system to collect water from your foundation’s perimeter. Our plumbers can help determine your home’s water removal needs. Then, they can recommend a pump capable of evacuating water accumulations fast enough to prevent flooding.
