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.
