Sump pit and sump pump installation
A sump pit and sump pump are components of your basement waterproofing system. We offer sump pump installation and replacement services to keep your basement dry and protect your home from water damage. We also offer installation and service of Sump Pump Battery Backup systems.
What is a sump pit?
A sump pit is a perforated plastic basin installed in your basement or crawl space. It is typically connected to either an external or internal drain tile system. The drain tile collects groundwater which then is channeled to the sump pit. One in the pit, the water is ejected to an outside location by the sump pump.
Our team of experts will assess your property to determine the best location for your sump pit, ensuring it effectively collects and discharges water.
What is a sump pump?
A sump pump plays a vital role in your basement waterproofing system, serving as the first line of defense against water damage. A sump pump is an electric pump that is installed in your sump pit. It works by automatically turning on when the water level in the pit reaches a certain level and pumping the water out of the sump pit.
At ABD Waterproofing, we specialize in sump pump installation and replacement services, ensuring your basement stays dry and your home remains protected. Additionally, we provide expert installation and servicing of Sump Pump Battery Backup systems for added security.
What is a battery-powered backup system?
A battery-powered backup system is an essential component of your sump pump system. It provides an extra layer of protection in case of a power outage or primary sump pump failure, ensuring pumping capability.
At ABD Waterproofing, we offer high-quality battery-powered backup systems that are reliable and long-lasting. Backup systems typically have maintenance free batteries. Like a car battery, a backup battery has an expected life of 4 or 5 years, then will require a replacement. We offer support services with all our sump pump and battery backup services.
Understanding the Components:
1. Sump Pit Installation: A sump pit, a perforated plastic basin, is strategically installed in your basement or crawl space, often connected to an internal or external drain tile system. Groundwater is collected by the drain tile and directed to the sump pit. Our experienced team assesses your property to determine the optimal location for the sump pit, ensuring efficient water collection and discharge by the sump pump.
2. Sump Pump Functionality: The sump pump, an electric pump installed within the sump pit, automatically activates when water reaches a predefined level. Its primary function is to pump water out of the sump pit, preventing basement flooding and water damage.
3. Battery-Powered Backup System: Incorporating a battery-powered backup system is a critical aspect of a reliable sump pump setup. This backup system provides an additional layer of protection in case of power outages or primary pump failure. ABD Waterproofing offers high-quality, long-lasting backup systems with maintenance-free batteries. Just like a car battery, these backup batteries typically have a life expectancy of 4 to 5 years, after which they may need replacement. Our support services cover all aspects of sump pump and battery backup maintenance.
Our team will work with you to determine the best backup system for your sump pump, ensuring it effectively protects your home from flooding.
