What Is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a device installed in the lowest part of your basement or crawl space to prevent flooding. It collects water in a sump basin and pumps it away from your home’s foundation. Sump pumps are great for areas that tend to flood, whether from heavy rains or melting snow, when water levels rise quickly.

Where Are Sump Pumps Installed?

Sump pumps are installed in basements or crawl spaces, specifically in a sump basin at the area’s lowest point. This strategic placement allows the pump to effectively remove water, keeping your property dry and reducing the risk of water damage.

If you’re unsure where your sump pump should be installed, our team can assess your home and recommend the ideal location.

Types of Sump Pumps We Install

We install and service the two most commonly used sump pump types on Long Island because they effectively move water away from your home. Our experts can help you choose the right sump pump for your home’s needs.

Pedestal Pumps

These have a motor mounted above the sump basin, making it easier to service. They’re ideal for smaller spaces and lighter water flow.

Submersible Pumps

Installed inside the sump basin, these pumps are quieter and more efficient, especially for heavy water flow and larger areas.

Signs Your Sump Pump Needs to Be Replaced

Is your current sump pump not working like it should? Don’t let an old, faulty sump pump flood your basement and put your home at risk for mold.  Here’s what to look for:

  • Frequent cycling on and off
  • Unusual noises during operation
  • Visible rust or corrosion
  • The pump is over seven years old
  • Water pooling in your basement
