  • Sump pump installation is a detailed process that always needs to be handled by a professional plumber. If this process is done incorrectly, your pump may not prevent flood damage during a storm. Thankfully, we’ve performed dozens of sump pump installations in Columbus Ohio, and know exactly what to do.

    During the installation process, we’ll measure your basement to determine what size sump pump you need. Once that’s done, we’ll provide you with a quote for installation, and perform the following steps:

    1. Measure and position the basin that the sump pump will sit over.
    2. Cut a hole into the basement floor, using the basin measurements as a guide.
    3. Dig down at least three feet.
    4. Cover the basin in filter fabric and place it into the hole.
    5. Fill the basin with gravel.
    6. Add the sump pump above the gravel pit.
    7. Run the drainage pipe to the correct location in your home.
    8. Reseal the hole with concrete.

    Once all of these steps are done, we’ll test the pump. If the pump works, the service is complete and your home will be ready the next time there’s a major storm.

Sump Pump Replacement in Columbus Ohio FAQ

  • There are many different sump pumps, though they all serve roughly the same purpose. Here’s a list of several common types:

    1. Submersible Sump Pumps

    These pumps sit submerged inside the sump pit. They are quieter and more powerful than most other models. Submersible pumps tend to work best in basements with high groundwater levels.

    2. Pedestal Sump Pumps

    Pedestal pumps have a motor that sits above the water line, rather than beneath it. They are cheaper than submersible pumps and simpler to maintain, though they lack the power of submersible models. This model works best in crawl spaces and shallow basements.

    3. Battery Backup Sump Pumps

    These pumps have a backup battery to ensure the pump works during a power outage. These are essential in the Midwest, where the power can go out during severe storms.

    4. Combination Sump Pumps

    Combination pumps integrate a primary pump and a battery backup pump. This allows the device to use more power when the electricity is on, and still function during an outage.

    5. Water-powered Sump Pumps

    These pumps use water pressure to function rather than electrical power. They are eco-friendly and a great choice for areas with high water tables.

    6. Flexible Impeller Sump Pumps

    Flexible impeller pumps use a rotor that increases the pressure of liquid in the sump pit, forcing it into the pipe. They are extremely efficient and durable, and tend to work best in smaller sump pits.

    7. Sewage Sump Pumps

    Sewage sump pumps are high-powered devices that can pump solid waste and contaminated water. The additional power in these pumps enables them to push waste to higher elevations and distant locations to safely remove contaminants from your home.

    8. Grinder Sump Pumps

    These pumps have a built-in grinder mechanism to break down solid waste. They’re ideal for locations with septic systems, where floods can push solid waste into low-lying basements.

    Researching all the various types of pumps will help you find the best one for your basement. If you’re still unsure at any point, one of our expert plumbers can help make a recommendation for your sump pump replacement in Columbus Ohio.
