Sump Pump Installation in Pendleton, IN
Sump pumps play a crucial role in preventing basement flooding and
water damage by removing excess water before it can enter your
Pendleton-area home’s basements or crawlspace. Long before you
realize the water is coming up, your sump pump detects it and
directs it away from your foundation.
Sump pumps can only provide this vital function for your Pendleton
home if they’re installed and tested correctly. It’s not a job for
amateurs. Instead, reach out to the professional plumbers from
Nardco Heating and Air Conditioning to make sure your sump pump will
perform when you need it most.
Choosing The Right Sump Pump
Most Pendleton homeowners know about sump pumps but aren’t sure what
type of pump is best for their home. That’s where Nardco’s team of
professional plumbers comes in to:
-
Assess Conditions: Before we can recommend and install
the right sump pump, we need to examine your basement or
crawlspace. We’ll Identify areas prone to water accumulation and
determine the location best suited to collect and discharge water.
-
Select Pump: We’ll consider factors such as the pump's
horsepower, pumping capacity, and whether you need a submersible
or pedestal pump. Submersible pumps, which most homeowners prefer
because of their quieter operation and aesthetic appeal, are
installed inside the sump pit, while pedestal pumps are mounted
above the pit.
-
Plan Installation: To make sure we install your sump pump
with a minimum of disruption to your home and family, we’ll
carefully plan every step of the installation and make sure we
have all the tools and components on hand. That way, you shouldn’t
have to worry about any delays.
How We Install Sump Pumps
When you turn to Nardco’s team of professional plumbers to
install a sump pump in your Pendleton home, you can count on us
to follow a step-by-step process to make sure it delivers the
performance and reliability you need.
-
Digging the Sump Pit: After identifying the right
location, we’ll carefully dig a pit that’s deep enough to
accommodate the pump, allow for sufficient water collection,
and provide adequate space for the discharge pipe.
-
Pump Installation: It’s critical to ensure the sump
pump is level and securely positioned. We’ll secure the
connections between the pump and the discharge pipe to prevent
leaks.
-
Install Check Valve: To prevent water from flowing back
into the pit once the pump has shut off, we’ll install a check
valve to the discharge pipe above the pump.
-
Discharge Pipe: We’ll identify a location outside the
home where water from the pump can be discharged without
affecting your home, then run the discharge pipe to that
location.
-
Backflow Preventer: While it’s unlikely that water
could flow back through the discharge pipe and into the bit,
we’ll install a backflow preventer to prevent potential
flooding or damage to the pump.
-
Seal Lid: To keep debris from entering the sump pump …
or odors from seeping out … we’ll install and seal a cover.
That also makes sure kids and pets can’t get into the pump’s
components.
-
Test Operation: Our plumbers want to make sure your
sump pump works properly, so they’ll fill the pit with water
and verify that the pump reacts quickly and removes all the
water as efficiently as possible. That way, you’ll know the
pump is protecting your home.
Sump Pump Maintenance Is Important
Your Pendleton home’s sump pump works without you noticing it.
However, sump pumps can only provide the performance you need when
they’re properly maintained. Here’s why:
-
Preventing Flooding: Regular maintenance ensures the pump
is ready to act when excess water needs to be removed from the
sump pit before your basement or crawlspace can suffer water
damage from seepage and flooding.
-
Longer Life: Routine maintenance can extend the service
life of your sump pump, avoiding premature pump failure and
replacement costs.
-
Less Energy: Well-maintained sump pumps operate more
efficiently so they consume less energy, contributing to lower
utility bills.
-
Avoiding Repairs: Your sump pump must work when you need it
most. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues before
they escalate into unexpected breakdowns.
