How to Hire the Best Plumbers to Fix a Sump Pump

A sump pump is an intrinsic part of your basement waterproofing system. It’s the main tool that is used to remove water from your basement. If it’s not installed correctly, then your basement can get flooded. Moisture may also accumulate, which may lead to mold proliferation. These are the reasons why you need the best plumbers to install a sump pump.

The sump pump is that hole on the floor of your basement that collects water and it works to prevent flooding in your home. The water may enter via the perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system and then funneled into the basin.

Why You Need to Hire the Best Plumbers

A sump pump must be installed properly or it can cause damage. To install a sump pump, you must place it into the pit that will serve to pump water out of the basement. Sometimes the pit can get sloppy over time. Sump pits that are open are messy, causing water to leak out and making the air humid. This humidity can lead to mold and musty odors. If sump pumps are installed hastily, there is a good chance this may happen.

There is also a chance that a sump pump may be too large. This causes it to remove water faster than it is filled. In this case, the sump pump will turn on and off repeatedly, shortening its life. There is also a risk of a sump pump being too small. If this is the case the pump may short cycle or run continuously, which will also shorten its life. If you want to prevent these issues, then you have to hire the best plumbers for the job.

How Should Sump Pumps be Installed?

To get the best case scenario, the sump pump should be properly installed and neatly sealed with a lid. This will keep out dirt and debris while keeping moisture and humidity low.

It is recommended that you have your sump pump installation done by professional plumbers to make sure the job is done right. Whether you choose this option or decide to do it yourself, here are some things you need to look out for:

  • Float Switches should be installed within the Sump Pump
  • Be sure to vent the sump pump so it will function properly
  • Then you will need to have discharge piping within the entire sump pump, including a union,    check valve and shut valve
  • Finally, you will need a sump cover for the sump pump that will be installed in your home
