Why is Sump Pump Installation Important

Why is Sump Pump Installation Important?

To Prevent Basement Flooding

We’ve already talked a few words saying that the sump pump helps you to stay safe from basement flooding. Here’s how-

The sump basin collects water from your surroundings so that water accumulation can’t happen. Water accumulation in the soil may weaken the base of your house. There is a huge chance of the walls getting damaged too. 

The sump basin has a limitation in storing water. Overflow of the basin results in a flooded basement. 

When you have a sump pump installed, you can easily collect water from the sump basin and spread that out to prevent overflow. Thus a sump pump helps you to stay safe from basement flooding. 

To Reduce the Risk of Fire

A sump pump also helps you to reduce the risk of fire. The question is- how does a water-focused machine save you from a fire?

The answer is simple. When the basement is flooded, water enters the electric system. It damages the electrical appliances heavily and even starts an electrical fire. 

When you have a sump pump, you can pump the extra water out if flooding happens. Thus you can stay safe from an electrical fire. 

To Prevent Damage in the Basement

Even if it doesn’t affect the electrical system, an overflow of water from the sump basin can damage the inside of your basement. Water accumulation can harm everything you have in the basement, damage the walls, and dampen the place.

Having a sump pump, in this case, allows you to prevent such damage by pumping out the water regularly. 

To Drop the Risk of Mold and Mildew

A basement is already a damp place in most cases as there is not enough scope for passing light and air. A water overflow can make the situation tougher. 

A damp environment is ideal for growing mold and mildew. Flooding in the basement dampens the walls and everything inside. As a result, the risk of mold and mildew is higher when there is no sump pump to prevent flooding. 

If you have one, the risk of such growth is very low. Also, maintaining the basement is easier. 

To Save You from Spending Money

Everything caused by an overflow would make you spend money. From fighting the damages caused by overflow to paying for repairing the electrical appliances, everything requires money. Also, a damp basement can cause serious health risks

If you have a sump pump and you empty the sump basin regularly, you can save a lot of bucks as you won’t have to face these issues in the future. Thus, a sump pump can help you save money.

Sump Pump Installation Cost

Sump Pump Installation Cost

The cost of getting a sump pump installed differs depending on several reasons. Below are the main factors that have an impact on the installation cost. 

Type of the Pump

You’ll find two main types of these pumps in the market- pedestal pump and submersible pump. Pedestal pumps come with a cheap price tag. Also, the cost of installation is low there. 

On the other hand, submersible pumps are comparatively higher-priced. Similarly, the cost of installation is higher in this case. 

Additional Features

While installing a sump pump, you have scope for adding some extra features that can help you in many ways. You can have a water-level alarm or pump filter. Such additional features cost you more. 

Depending on the feature you’re choosing, it may add around 50 to 150 bucks to your cost. 

Flooring Material

The cost also depends on the flooring material because sump pump installation requires the removal of the floor. If your basement floor is tough to crack, you may have to spend more. On the contrary, easy-to-crack floors cost you lesser.

The Situation of the Basement

The situation in the basement also affects the cost. If your basement is already flooded or damaged, it is tough to get the job done. In this case, you’ll have to get things fixed at first. This will cost you some additional bucks.

Also, if your basement doesn’t have enough space to work properly, working with the pump is tough there. You may have to spend a few additional bucks for the service charge here. 

Drainage System

A sump pump removes water from the sump basin and carries that to the drainage system. If your drainage system is far from the basement, you’ll have to spend a good amount of bucks because the system will need long pipes. If the drainage system is close to your house, you can save a few bucks from this. 

Time of Installation

The cost of installing a sump pump depends on when you’re getting it done. In the rainy season or just after winter, it is tough to work with it. There is a chance of potential damage. So, installation takes a lot of concentration. This is why you have to pay a bit more. 

There are several other factors associated with the cost of installing a sump pump, for example- labor cost, horsepower requirement, etc. 

Overall, to get a sump pump installed, you’ll have to spend around 300 USD to 3000 USD, depending on your preferences. The average cost of installing a sump pump is around 1100 USD

No matter how much it costs, we don’t suggest you get the job done by yourself. This is associated with a huge risk that can affect you badly. Also, if you don’t have experience, there is a high chance that you’re going to mess everything up. 

So, leave the job to someone professional and stay safe. The thing that is in the scope of saving some bucks can turn into something that costs way more than before. If you want yourself to stay safe, the job to be carried out perfectly, and the pump to do its task properly, you should allow someone professional to do this. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long does a sump pump last?

The average life duration you can expect from a sump pump is around 8 years. However, it may last less than that, like 5-6 years, or more than that, like 10-11 years.

It depends on how well you’re maintaining the pump. If you maintain it properly and run it regularly, you can expect it to serve you for a long time. On the other hand, improper maintenance kills your pump.

If you don’t want to take the hassle of maintaining it, you can sign up for our preventive maintenance service, where we regularly check and maintain the pump to keep it running and fix the issue if there is any.

Why does a sump pump fail?

A common reason behind sump pump failure is improper maintenance.

Another reason is the extra load of work. If your pump has to work for a long time to handle a huge pressure of water, it may fail after working hard.

Also, because of the voltage failure, your sump pump may fail. So, before starting the pump, make sure that the electricity is not showing any unusual behavior.

The frozen or clogged line is another reason behind the sump pump failure.

How much water can a sump pump remove?

It depends on the pump you’re installing. If you pick one with a high working capacity, it can support you in removing a lot of water. On the other hand, picking a cheap one can’t support you when there is huge water. 

We suggest selecting the pump depending on the area you live. In the case of an area where heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall is common, you should go for pumps with high capacity. Otherwise, there is a chance that the pump will fail.

Does the sump pump support me when the power is gone?

Sump pumps are powered by electricity. So, when power is gone, it can’t support you.

However, don’t worry because you have an escape way. You can install a high-performance battery to the pump so that it keeps running even when the power is cut. It may cost you some bucks but helps you to fight sump basin water effectively.
