There are several types of sump pumps that can be used and installed in your home. Our plumbing professionals can provide you with the following unit styles: Pedestal – Pedestal pumps are located completely out of water and don’t require much space to install. They are a great choice; because they are easily accessible should the need for repairs arise. With that being said, pedestal sump pumps can be a bit of an eyesore because they are mounted above the sump pit. We have found that pedestal pumps work well in smaller crawl spaces and areas that rarely flood with water. Submersible – A submersible pump is usually installed in a tank or pit. The pump is fully immersed in water and pumps water directly out away from the home. They are usually located in a basement in the corner with the lowest pitch in the room. Because they are so close to the water line around your home, they are generally a bit more effective than a pedestal pump. Battery backup – A battery backup is usually part of a sump pump system that has a main submersible pump. Backup pumps are commonly installed in crawl spaces and foundations to prevent flooding during a power outage. They are tied into the main pump and will turn on when the power goes out. A battery backup can make the difference between a flood in a power outage or a dry basement.
