The most common types of sump pumps we service include the following:

• Pedestal Sump Pumps – Pedestal sump pumps are placed above your sump pump pit for quick and easy access.
• Battery Backup Pumps – A battery backup pump turns on when you experience a power outage.
• Submersible Sump Pumps – A submersible sump pump sits inside a sump pump as a quieter alternative to a pedestal sump pump.

How Do Sump Pumps Work?

A float switch on your sump pumps gets triggered when water in the low parts of your home reaches a specific level. The sump pump will start to remove the water from the area, relocating it to an outdoor area. The battery-powered water-level alarm on your sump pump will alert you to potential flooding warnings.

Life Expectancy of a Sump Pump

The life expectancy of a sump pump typically depends on its operation. If your sump pump is forced to run often, it’s important to replace it every five years. If your sump pump does not function often, it should last about seven to ten years. We recommend replacing your main sump pump every five years if you do not have a backup sump pump. The float switch is typically the first part to fail due to constantly switching on and off.
