SUMP PUMPS
Sump pump installation and replacement services.
When it comes to potential plumbing emergencies, it’s safe to say that anything related to water damage has the potential to be involved! This probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Having said that, there are a few things which will be helpful in mitigating the damages. You need a local plumbing company you can count on to provide immediate solutions (even if the issue doesn’t arise in normal business hours!). You need to know what can be done before a plumber arrives on-site (knowing the location of the main shut-off is a perfect first step). Lastly, you need a plumbing system that has all of the necessary safeguards to limit the damage and a great example of that would be a properly-functioning sump pump (ideally with a battery back-up installed as well)!

KANSAS CITY’S sump pump EXPERTS
As you can likely guess, sump pumps can be extremely helpful if an emergency ever were to occur. Both on the residential and commercial side, we have had the opportunity to work on a number of sump pump projects. Check out a few of the questions we tend to get asked most often about sump pumps.
What types of sump pumps are there?
Looking to have a new sump pump system installed? One of the first decisions that you’ll need to make is in regards to the type of sump pump that you’ll have installed. The two most common types of sump pumps are submersible and pedestal. In addition to the different types of sump pumps, you’ll also need to take into account the size (referred to as HP) of the sump pump too. With the help of an experienced plumbing professional, they’ll be able to assist in navigating the possibilities and figuring out which makes most sense for you.
Do I need a battery backup for my sump pump?
The simple answer to this question is YES! If you noticed in the sections above, we mentioned “properly-functioning” numerous times when referencing sump pumps. The reason for this is the importance of routine maintenance and testing the sump pump to ensure everything is working correctly. After all, you don’t want to find out that there is an issue on the day that you actually need the sump pump!
Which maintenance tasks are recommended for sump pumps?
Maintenance is something we always encourage with your plumbing system. It is extremely important in getting the maximum number of years out of your plumbing components, while also limiting the amount of issues that occur along the way. With sump pumps, there are a few maintenance tasks you can add to your to-do list to ensure everything works as expected. First and foremost, you’ll want to test it out from time-to-time. Simply pour some water into the pit and make sure it kicks on. It doesn’t hurt to head outside and also check where the discharge line leads as well! Another worthwhile maintenance task involves evaluating the current state of the pit. Is there any debris sitting in there? Is the sump pump standing up-right? These are perfect examples of questions worth asking!
