Sump Pump Installation
A flooded basement in your warm and cozy home is a nightmare come true. Unfortunately, most homeowners don’t know what to do in a situation like that. If you aren’t willing to learn how to save your basement from water damage after the flood, consider purchasing a sump pump.
A sump pump is a cylindrical pump that is usually located in the lowest part of your home. It can protect your house from the downpour and rising water levels, which can cause structural damage and multiple repairs. By moving water from your house to the outside of your home, this simple mechanism saves the areas that are most prone to flooding – your basement and crawlspace.
In addition, sump pumps are energy-efficient. They have float switch sensors that trigger pumping any time they sense water. So, you’d never have to worry about your electricity bills getting too high. Sump pumps minimize the health risks too. Moisture inevitably causes mold growth, which, in its turn, can lead to severe allergic reactions and trouble breathing. A sump pump gets rid of excess water and benefits your health.

Sump Pump Installation Process
Installing a sump pump may seem easy. But in reality, the sump pump installation process requires precision, experience, and skills. To perform an installation properly, our contractors follow these simple steps:
- Find the location
The lowest point of your basement or crawlspace is the spot that constantly accumulates water. A specialist will find that spot because it is the best place for a sump pump installation.
- Price estimate
A plumbing contractor will consider all factors that affect the cost of the installation and give you an estimated price to install a sump pump.
- Dig in
The team of your choice will dig 6 inches deep and 10 inches wide at the specified location for the pump. Our plumbing specialists will use the best equipment to avoid property damage.
- Prepare the ground
Professionals will drill necessary weep holes to allow water absorption. Then, the plumbers will put some support, like pebbles, around the pump to make it stable.
- Sump pump installation
The team will carefully install your new sump pump in the designated holes and ensure that the right measurements are followed.
- Checking the float
When water flows into the sump, the float must be able to rise to a level that activates the switch and then lower without getting stuck. It's usually easy to center the pump in the sump liner, but double-checking the setup still has to be done.
- Check valve installation
A skilled plumber will install a check valve to help remove the excess water from the tube after the pump finishes working. Then, a professional will do a test run to check the piping for leaks.
- Conceal the sump pump
Lastly, depending on the type of floors you have, the trained plumbers will figure out how they can conceal the sump pump. Some homeowners prefer the sump pump to be concealed, while others just let it stand as it is. The team will thoughtfully follow your instruction.
FixerJoe’s many contractors provide everything from home improvement to plumbing services. Contact us to find a skilled team of plumbers that will perform your sump pump installation at an affordable price.
Well Pump Installation
A whopping 15 million homeowners in the US use private wells for fresh water. The well pump allows underground water to be pumped up and provides clean water for drinking and doing the chores.
