Sump Pump Installation Columbus Ohio

Although not every home needs a sump pump, C&J Basement Solutions strongly recommends sump pump installation services for homes that have a crawlspace or basement.

This is because sump pumps are typically installed in a space below ground level in your home.

Our team of experts in Columbus Ohio can guide you through the installation process and help determine what type of sump pump your Columbus home could benefit from the most.

Here are four simple facts about sump pumps to help you understand their purpose or function:

• Rain or natural groundwater can enter your home through a perimeter drain. This water can fill a pit in your basement, and your sump pump works to remove water by pumping it out into a dry well or a storm drain.
• A sump pump is usually required in homes that have space below ground level, such as a basement or a crawlspace. Without a sump pump, this space typically floods when it rains heavily. Your sump pump can help prevent this flooding by pumping water out before it reaches the top of the sump pit.
• Every sump pump eventually fails at some point in its lifetime. For example, if your power goes out, your sump pump won’t work. This is why we recommend having a battery-powered backup sump pump in addition to your primary sump pump. This can help prevent flooding in your home if there is a heavy storm and you lose power.
• You can test that your sump pump is working correctly by dumping water in it. You can hear the pump kick on and begin pumping out water. It’s always a good idea to check that your sump pump is working in the spring before the heavy rains to prevent your basement from flooding.

At C&J Basement Solutions, we recommend Blue Angel Sump Pumps and battery-powered backup sump pumps. Blue Angel is a reliable and affordable brand that is completely assembled in the USA. Each pump is tested by hand to assure its quality.

We typically install a 1/3 horsepower sump pump in standard situations. Our sump pump specialists can also install homeowner-provided sump pumps and backups should our customers choose to use these instead.
