SUMP PUMP BASEMENT INSTALLATION
Basement sump pump installation requires careful placement of the sump pit in the lowest part of the basement floor. The pit, typically made of plastic or concrete, collects water that seeps through the foundation or flows from a French drain system.
Our skilled Basement Waterproofing Pittsburgh technicians excavate the pit area, install the sump pump, and connect it to a discharge pipe that directs water away from the home’s foundation. They also ensure the pump is properly sized for the basement’s square footage and potential water volume, and that it has a reliable power source and backup system in case of power outages.
CRAWL SPACE SUMP PUMP INSTALLATION
Installing a sump pump in a crawl space involves placing the sump pit in the lowest point of the area, often near the center. The pit collects water that seeps through the soil or flows from a perimeter drain system, preventing water from accumulating and causing damage to the home’s foundation, floor joists, and insulation.
Our Basement Waterproofing Pittsburgh experts carefully select the appropriate sump pump size based on the crawl space dimensions and potential water volume. They ensure proper installation, including:
- Excavating the sump pit
- Connecting the pump to a discharge pipe
- Providing a reliable power source and backup system
- Sealing the crawl space to minimize moisture intrusion
SUMP PUMP BATTERY BACKUP INSTALLATION
A sump pump battery backup system provides critical protection against basement flooding during power outages. JPM Basement Waterproofing Pittsburgh installs reliable battery backup systems that automatically engage when the primary sump pump loses power, ensuring continuous water removal and preventing costly water damage.
Their experienced technicians select the appropriate battery size based on the sump pump’s horsepower and the home’s specific needs. They securely mount the battery, connect it to the sump pump, and test the system to ensure seamless operation during emergencies, giving homeowners peace of mind even in the face of severe weather or unexpected power loss.
OUTDOOR SUMP PUMP INSTALLATION
Outdoor sump pump installation offers an effective solution for managing water in low-lying areas of a property, such as gardens or landscaped sections prone to flooding. JPM Basement Waterproofing Pittsburgh’s skilled technicians assess the area’s drainage needs and determine the optimal location for the sump pit and pump, ensuring proper water collection and discharge.
The installation process involves excavating the sump pit, installing the appropriately sized submersible or pedestal pump, and connecting it to a durable discharge hose or pipe that directs water away from the property. The team also ensures the pump has a reliable power source and incorporates necessary features like a check valve and a debris screen to maintain optimal performance and longevity.
