Sump pumps remove water from the basement of your home to prevent flooding or water damage. This type of pump is placed in the lowest point of the basement or crawlspace to create a way to remove water from the home.
Installation is critical for homes that have water entering the basement. Mr. Rooter of San Diego County is your trusted partner for fast and thorough sump pump installation and replacement services to help you avoid water damage to your home.
Two of the most common types are submersible and pedestal.
A submersible pump contains both the pump and motor in one unit and is placed below ground level. This type of pump is the most common choice amongst many homeowners, as it is both quiet and space-saving. On average, this system lasts around ten years (with proper usage).
A pedestal sump pump is designed differently from a submersible. A pedestal pump has a separate pump and motor. The design of this pump has a motor that sits on a pedestal above the basin and a hose that runs to the basin itself. The motor is not submerged like it is in a submersible option. Some people prefer the pedestal system because it has a longer lifespan. However, its operation is often louder than a submersible pump.
Choosing the best type of sump pump for your home can depend on your home’s drainage and set-up. The experienced team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing can help determine which pump is best for your home. We often recommend a submersible system in most scenarios, as its quiet operation is ideal for most homeowners.
The placement of your sump pump is important for it to function properly. The water that enters the pump must drain to a designated area outside the home. The water must flow at least ten to twenty feet from the home’s foundation, ensuring no water damage occurs to the base of the home. Improper or DIY installation could result in causing more harm than good. For this reason, we recommend seeking assistance from professionals for sump pump installation in San Diego.
