Sump Pump
Installation Process
Excavating the Sump Pit
The first step is to excavate a sump pit that is the right size for your pump, ensuring maximum efficiency and preventing damage from overworking the system. Our team will place the pit in the lowest point of your basement floor for optimal water removal. Using laser leveling, we make sure the placement is precise, and if necessary, we’ll install a PVC feed line to enhance water collection.
Installing Drain System
For the most reliable waterproofing, we recommend pairing your sump pump with a perimeter drainage system. We install this system along the basement’s edge to capture water from the walls, floor, and beneath the foundation. Our high-quality drain systems ensure that moisture is efficiently directed into the sump pit for removal.
Placing the Sump Pump
After installing the liner, we securely place the sump pump and surround it with clean gravel. This setup helps filter out dirt and debris, ensuring the pump operates at peak performance. Our sump systems also come with airtight covers to prevent odors, humidity, and unwanted materials from entering the pit.
Securing Discharge Lines
We install a dedicated discharge line for your sump pump, ensuring water is expelled safely away from your home. If your system includes a secondary pump, we always keep discharge lines separate to avoid system overload.
Restoring Basement Floor
Once the system is installed, we restore your basement floor to ensure a clean, seamless finish. Our system is designed to prevent gaps around the perimeter, minimizing the chance of debris buildup and promoting better drainage.
Final Cleanup and Inspection
Our team takes great care to leave your basement spotless. We inspect the discharge system to ensure it’s functioning properly and leave the area cleaner than when we arrived. We also install access ports in the drainage system, allowing easy future maintenance and testing.

The Right Sump Pump for the Job
Three-Pump System
The Three-Pump Sump Pump offers unbeatable protection with its three-pump system. If the primary pump fails or struggles to keep up with heavy water flow, the second and third pumps kick in, providing more than double the capacity when needed. This ensures your home is safe even during extreme conditions.
AlarmSump System
The AlarmSump is one of the most reliable sump systems on the market. It includes a durable 1/3 horsepower Zoeller cast iron pump with a mechanical float switch, giving you peace of mind that your sump pump will operate efficiently. The system also features a WaterWatch Alarm and an airtight lid to prevent debris and odors from entering your home.
GreaterSump System
Worried about power outages? The GreaterSump battery backup system is the perfect solution. With an impressive 2,000 gallons per hour output, it will continue protecting your home even during power failures. It features a heavy-duty motor and a “smart” automatic charger to ensure constant, reliable performance.
CrawlSump System
The CrawlSump is specifically designed for crawl spaces. Its airtight lid prevents moisture from evaporating into your home, and its stand keeps the sump pump elevated, preventing silt and sediment from clogging the system. This is the ideal solution for keeping your crawl space dry and protected.
What's the Difference Between
Indoor and Outdoor Sump Pumps?
Indoor Sump Pumps are typically installed in basements or crawl spaces to manage water that accumulates beneath your home. These pumps collect water that seeps through foundation cracks or rises from below the ground and channel it away from your home’s foundation, keeping your basement or crawl space dry. Indoor sump pumps are installed in a sump pit, and their primary function is to prevent flooding and water damage inside your home. They’re usually paired with a backup system in case of power outages or heavy water flow.
Outdoor Sump Pumps, on the other hand, are located outside of the home, often at a lower point in the yard. These pumps are designed to remove excess water from the landscape, driveways, or external drainage systems, preventing pooling and erosion around your home. Outdoor sump pumps are particularly useful for homes with poor drainage, heavy rainfall, or grading issues, but they can be more exposed to the elements and may require additional protection to avoid freezing or debris buildup.
Both types of sump pumps play a vital role in protecting your property, but they serve different areas and handle distinct water management needs. For comprehensive protection, many homeowners use a combination of both indoor and outdoor sump pumps.
