Sump Pumps
Relief from hydrostatic pressure beneath your basement floor.
Residential
Sump Pump Installation
The sump pit houses the sump pump, which is installed inside your basement. The presence of a sump pump provides relief to hydrostatic pressure from beneath your basement floor.
The sump pump pit gathers ground water that naturally accumulates around your foundation wall and/or under your basement floor. The submersible pump, located inside the sump box, pumps water out and away from your foundation.
The sump pump comes with an automatic shut off, allowing water to stay at a manageable level, and turns on automatically when the water rises inside the sump pump box.
The Process
- Break up the concrete floor.
- Dig out a hole 3′ below your basement floor x 3 ft. wide.
- Place the sump box in the centre.
- Fill the 1′ excavated area around the sump box with ¾″ gravel.
- Electrical: a floating micro switch automatically turns the pump on/off as required.
