Serving Denver and Surrounding Areas
Why is a Sump Pump Essential for Your Home?
Your First Line of Defense Against Water Damage
A sump pump is a specialized device designed to prevent your basement or crawl space from flooding. Installed in the lowest part of your home in a constructed sump pit, its primary job is to collect excess groundwater and rainwater that seeps in around your foundation. When the water level in the pit reaches a certain point, a float switch activates the pump, which then forces the water out and away from your home through a discharge pipe.
Without a functional sump pump, accumulating water can exert significant hydrostatic pressure on your foundation walls and floor, leading to cracks, leaks, and severe structural damage over time. This moisture also creates the perfect environment for toxic mold and mildew growth, which can compromise your home’s air quality and pose health risks to your family. A sump pump is a crucial investment in protecting your property’s value and ensuring a safe, dry living space.
Installation, Repair, and Proactive Maintenance
We provide complete sump pump installation services, from helping you select the ideal model for your home’s specific needs to professional excavation of the sump pit and proper system setup. Our technicians ensure that the pump, check valve, and discharge line are all installed correctly for optimal performance and longevity, giving you reliable protection from water intrusion.
A sump pump is a mechanical device that requires periodic attention to function when you need it most. We offer expert repair and maintenance services to address common issues like a stuck float switch, a clogged pump, or motor failure. Regular maintenance checks, including testing the pump and cleaning the pit, are vital to preventing unexpected failures during a heavy storm.
Pedestal, Submersible, and Battery Backup Options
Pedestal sump pumps are designed with the motor mounted on a shaft above the sump pit, keeping it out of the water. This design typically makes them easier to service and more affordable. While they are often more audible than submersible models, they are a reliable and cost-effective choice for many homeowners.
Submersible sump pumps are fully sealed and sit directly in the water at the bottom of the sump pit. Because they are submerged, they operate much more quietly and are less of an obstruction. These units are often more powerful and durable, designed for longevity and performance in removing large volumes of water efficiently.
The most common time for a basement to flood is during a severe storm, which is also the most likely time for a power outage. A battery backup sump pump provides invaluable peace of mind, automatically activating when the primary pump loses power or if it fails. This secondary system ensures your basement remains dry and protected, even in the worst-case scenario.
