Our team also takes care of sump pump repair needs, ensuring your pump is always working reliably and efficiently.
Littleton Sump Pump Basics
If we’re installing a brand-new pump, the first thing we do is dig a sump pit. The location of this pit is at the lowest point in your residence, usually in your basement. Then, we select an appropriate pump. The two main types are a submersible version and a pedestal pump. Submersible pumps are very quiet and powerful. They sit low in the pit and under the water. They’re ideal for houses in an area with damp soil or that experience heavy rainfall. A pedestal pump sits above the pit. It’s a more affordable option that requires minimal maintenance. However, it tends to be louder because of its location.
For homes that have minimal water accumulation, a pump that’s 1/3 HP is acceptable. If flooding is a concern, 1/2 HP is a better option. We also consider the gallons per hour (GPH) rating that a pump provides.
Consider having our team install a battery backup for your pump. If the power goes out at your residence and you don’t have a backup generator, your battery backup will engage. This will prevent water from backing up as you wait for the power to come back on.
If you notice any issues occurring with your pump, it’s important to call us right away for assistance. This will prevent pump damage while also protecting your home from water damage, mold growth, and other moisture problems.
