How to Choose a Sump Pump?

When you choose a sump pump, the first thing first you should inspect the basement area for the effect of water. If you observe basement standing water, floor dampness, leaks, seepage, material problems, paint peeling, and higher humidity level in the basement or crawlspace you should have a sump pump in the area. These all problems cause the water table near the basement area. By reducing the water table near the basement area, you can solve more than 95% of the problems above.

Then you should calculate the sump pump size and capacity. You can use the Aqviz sump pump calculator for this. Before that you will need water table level, annual rainfall, soil type, vertical lift, expected discharge distance, and basement area.

Next, you should locate the sump basin in the basement. It should be the lowest point of the basement floor. It helps to accumulate the water near the basement walls.

Then, prepare the French drain system along the perimeter of the basement walls. This helps to accumulate all the water in the sump basin near the basement wall through the French drain. You can build this drain inside or outside the basement walls. If the basement is older, use an interior French drain; if it is new, use an exterior French drain.

Then you should install the sump pump system properly. You should install the relevant parts properly. You should discharge the sump pump at least 10-15 feet away from the basement walls.

Finally, you should take all the steps to direct water away from the basement. You can fix all downspout leaks and direct them away from the basement. You can slope the garden away from the basement. You should fix all the plumbing issues near the basement.

What are the Types of Sump Pumps?

Sump pumps are mainly of 5 types including 5 types such as submersible sump pumps, pedestal sump pumps, battery-powered backup sump pumps, water-powered backup sump pumps, and combined sump pump systems. 

How Does a Sump Pump Work?

In the first stage, water collects in the sump pit, then the float rises with the water level to activate the sump pump motor. After the motor is activated, the impeller spins and pushes the water into the discharge pipe. The check valve prevents the pumped water from coming back to the motor. In the next step, water is discharged away from the basement. After the process water level drops, the float lowers ,and the pump turns off.
