Whether it’s crawl space or basement waterproofing, sump pumps can prove to be invaluable, but keep in mind that not all sump pumps function in the same way. There are pedestal and submersible pumps. Pedestals have a life span from 20 to 30 years, which enables them to last longer than submersible pumps—their benefits, however, include that they remain out of sight and out of earshot.
You’ll find there are pumps that can…
- Pump 25,000 gallons of water or more per hour
- Run smoothly and quietly
- Have a battery back-up for power outages
- Execute secondary pumping action if the first pump fails
One thing that all of our sump pumps have in common is their lids, critical because maintaining an airtight seal prevents the infiltration of radon gas, musty smells or insects.
Does the Sump Pump You Use Matter?
Yes, you need a sump pump that not only can pump large volumes of water, but that also resists clogging. Having a pump that continues to function during a power outage is also important. Besides, Mother Nature is usually to blame and when it’s raining, that’s when you need your sump pump the most.

R. D. From Steelton, PA:
"From the first call to the final installation it was fabulous. Everyone was extremely friendly and patient with all my questions. After everything was completed you couldn't even tell they had been here and did all the work that they did because they cleaned up so well. What a pleasant experience especially considering how severe the problem in my basement was. I spoke to other companies but none were as knowlegable or friendly".
