Reliable Sump Pump Installation
There are two core options for sump pump installation in Clinton: pedestal and submersible pumps. Pedestal pumps sit above the sump while submersibles sit in it. There are pros and cons to both approaches. Pedestal pumps are generally cheaper. They also last longer and require less maintenance. Submersible pumps, on the other hand, can handle a much higher volume of water. If there’s a risk of flooding, you generally want a submersible unit protecting your home.
Homes that have sump pumps should have a backup pump as well. This is true even for homes that have a standby generator. Backup pumps are battery-powered and will kick on automatically when the power goes out. There are two main types of backups: combination and dedicated. Experts usually recommend a dedicated backup pump. A combo unit may be suitable in scenarios where you get some water but there’s no real risk of a flood.
Another important consideration for your sump pump installation is horsepower. Most experts recommend a 1/3-hp pump as the minimum regardless of your other choices. We may recommend a 1/2-hp pump if there’s a risk of significant flooding or you have a higher-than-average water table. There are also 3/4- and 1-hp pumps for homes with very high water tables and/or very deep basements.
When should you opt for a sump pump repair over a replacement? It comes down to the age and condition of the unit. Most pumps don’t last longer than 10 years. If you’ve gotten seven years out of a pump, you’ve gotten good value. If the pump is younger than that, we’ll lean more toward repair. That said, if the repair is expensive or the pump is in poor condition, we’ll likely recommend the replacement regardless.
Monitor for the signs you need sump pump replacement or repair:
- Float switch issues
- Frequent circuit breaker trips
- Visible rust or other corrosion
- Odd noises or excessive vibration
- Constant running or irregular cycling
