Sump Pump Installation

What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a device that is typically installed within a sump pit in the basement or crawl space of a home to remove water that comes in. This device is used to pump the water out of the pit and away from the property, helping to prevent flooding and water damage. Sump pumps can be powered by electricity, battery backup, or both, and they may be activated automatically by a float switch or manually by a switch.

Maintaining and Caring for Your Sump Pump

The sump pump can save you from costly and devastating water damage and it is fairly reliable, but it could use a hand every now and then. Here are some of our recommendations to ensure your sump pump installation in Dallas gets you the best results:

• Regular testing: It's important to test your sump pump regularly to ensure it's in proper working condition. To do this, simply pour water into the sump basin until the float rises and activates the pump.
• Cleaning: Clean the sump basin regularly to prevent debris from clogging the pump and causing damage.
• Backup power source: Consider installing a backup power source, such as a battery or generator, in case of power outages.
• Check valves: Make sure the check valves are properly installed to prevent backflow and ensure water is being pumped away from the home.
