Why Sump Pumps Matter
Basements are vulnerable to water intrusion. Heavy rain, melting snow, and rising groundwater can overwhelm your foundation. Without a sump pump, water collects and causes damage—fast.
A sump pump is your first line of defense. It sits in a basin at the lowest point of your basement and removes water before it becomes a problem. When installed correctly, it keeps your space dry, safe, and usable year-round.
Our Sump Pump Systems
We don’t install just any pump. We use Krakel-supplied sump pumps, known for their durability, power, and reliability. Our systems are built to handle high water volumes and operate efficiently under pressure.
Each installation includes:
- A custom-fit sump basin
- A high-performance pump
- A check valve to prevent backflow
- A discharge line to move water away from your home
We also offer
battery backup systems to keep your pump running during power outages.
Sump Pump Installation
Our Installation Process
We begin by identifying the lowest point in your basement where water naturally collects. Then, we excavate a pit and install a sump basin. The pump is placed inside, connected to a discharge line, and tested for performance.
Our team ensures every component is sealed, secure, and positioned for maximum efficiency. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t use low-grade materials.
Benefits of Professional Installation
- Reliable Water Removal: Pumps activate automatically when water levels rise.
- Custom Fit: Systems are tailored to your basement’s layout and needs.
- Durable Components: We use parts that last and perform under pressure.
- Clean Installation: We respect your space and leave it better than we found it.
Battery Backup Installation
Stay Protected During Power Outages
Storms and flooding often knock out power. When that happens, your sump pump stops—and water starts rising. That’s why we install battery backup systems that keep your pump running even when the lights go out.
Our backup systems activate automatically and can run for hours, depending on the battery size and water volume. They’re essential for homes in flood-prone areas or with finished basements.
Features of Our Backup Systems
- Automatic Activation
- High Water Removal Capacity
- Long Battery Life
- Durable Construction
We don’t use panel lids, thin plastic, or unreliable parts. Every system is built to perform when it matters most.
