Sump Pump Installation or Replacement

Sump Pump Installation is a smart move for most NJ Homeowners. A Sump Pump prevents flooding and excess moisture in a basement. Flooding can cause thousands of dollars in damage to a basement, and the presence of moisture can create an equally costly mold problem.
As a coastal state, NJ faces tropical storms and hurricanes that can bring excess water even to the highest elevation houses, and many homes are located near rivers, lakes and streams that can become flooded.
On the repair side, our team sees a lot of failed and failing sump pump installations, many caused by do-it-yourself homeowners and well-meaning handymen who failed to calculate the necessary capacity, pit size or pump quality needed for the job at hand. Simple errors such as a pump leaning in its pit can cause a pump to short-cycle and eventually burn out.
Jersey Sump Pumps is a division of Jersey Plumbing Service and our Licensed Master Plumbers will expertly install a sump pump that suits your home's unique needs with quality equipment that will stand the test of time.

Types of Sump Pumps
Submersible Sump Pumps
A sump pump is installed at the lowest point of your basement or crawl space. Installed around your home's foundation is a perimeter drain system where ground water collects and is deferred to a sump pump pit. A submersible pump sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is triggered by a float switch. When water levels rise and trigger the switch, the pump moves the water to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. Your sump pump is your best line of defense against flood damage in your basement. Because the same storms that bring a lot of extra water into the drainage system also tend to knock out the power, it is recommended to install a battery backup for your sump pump.
Water Powered Backup Sump Pumps
A water powered sump pump is a great alternative to a batter backup sump pump if you have access to municipal water. When your power goes out, it switches to the use of town water to power the pump, keeping your basement safe and dry until power is restored. Water costs will go up when the unit is in use, however, compared to the cost of a flooded basement, it's well worth the investment and will never need a battery.
