ProTech Plumbing are the experts when it comes to installing or maintaining a sump pump in your home. You don’t need a basement to experience flooding in your home during times of heavy rain. Many homes homes are also located in low water table areas that are susceptible to flooding. Depending on where you live, it’s also not uncommon for the soil to be heavily laden with clay. The presence of clay makes it difficult for water to drain away from your foundation. This buildup of moisture in the soil surrounding your home can cause water to seep through cracks in your foundation. The solution is to have ProTech Plumbing install a sump pump.
Sump pumps are typically installed in the lowest point of your home or property, so water will naturally flow in this direction. A pit is dug which will collect the water. This pit is referred to as “the sump”. There are two types of sump pumps, pedestal, and submersible.
As the name implies, a pedestal pump is mounted on a stand above the sump basin. Water is extracted from the sump basin through a suction pipe. When the water level reaches a specified level in the basin a float or pressure switch turns on the pump and the water is extracted. One of the main advantages of pedestal pumps is that access to the pump motor and electrical connections is made very easy as the pump is not submerged.
A submersible pump is placed directly in the pump basin. When water fills the sump basin the pump is partially or entirely submersed. When the water level reaches a certain level a float or pressure switch turns on the pump and the water is extracted. One advantage of a submersible pump is that because it is submerged in water when running, it stays cooler and this increases the life of the pump.
