Sump Pump Installaton in Indiana

Many crawl space and basement waterproofing systems in Indiana and Kentucky depend on a sump pump as the last step in removing water from the basement or crawl space. The sump pump is the core of a strong crawl space or basement waterproofing system. If the core shuts down for any reason, the system fails, and your basement or crawl space floods, despite all the money you paid to dry it up. It’s important to remember that if you decide to count on a sump pump to keep the crawl space or basement dry, it must be the most reliable one possible.

There are innumerable stories that have been told over the years of homeowners getting flooded because their sump pump was on the blink again.  However, today's sump equipment is the best it’s ever been and is very reliable – provided that you install the right equipment. With the wrong equipment, you may be the next one telling tales of woe about your pump failing and causing the basement or crawl space to flood.

Other than the sump pump itself, there are many other important components that should be considered when shopping for a reliable sump pump system in Indiana and Kentucky.

The Sump Liner

A sump pump that clogs in a muddy hold in the floor will not be able to keep your crawl space or basement dry.  And you don’t want it running in a small 5-gallon bucket that will be unable to hold enough water to prevent the sump pump from “short cycling” (turning on and off repeatedly).  It’s important to find a strong, durable liner that is large enough to house your sump pump for your basement waterproofing.

Lifetime Warranty?

No sump pump manufacturer can offer a lifetime warranty on their pumps – and with good reason. Lifetime warranties cannot improve the performance of a sump pump. Irresponsible contractors will claim a lifetime warranty (or many years) on their sump pump systems, or offer “free replacements forever”.  This is done irresponsibly to seduce you to buy their whole solution. Before selecting such a system, ask yourself “How do I know when to call to get my free replacement?” The answer?  When the sump has failed and your Indiana basement or crawl space is flooded.

Air-Tight Sump Lid with a Floor Drain

Sump pumps should be installed with an airtight lid that’s designed to prevent water from evaporating out of the sump hole and into the basement.  The sump lid will also quiet the system and prevent debris from falling in that will clog the pump or switch. Depending on the cover, it should also improve the appearance of the installation. Instead of a necessary evil in your home, you will have a thoughtfully engineered crawl space or basement waterproofing system.

When the plumbing leaks and water floods out onto the basement floor or crawl space, you'll be glad that your sump pump has a floor drain that can automatically direct the water away. A sump lid with a floor drain is the answer.

Indiana and Kentucky Sump Pump Stand and Check Valve

A “CleanPump Stand” will elevate the sump pump off the bottom of liner, allowing sediment, gravel mud, and debris that washes into the sump liner to settle at the bottom of liner without clogging or otherwise affecting the sump pump. A proper stand will also keeps the check valve and discharge pipe clean.

Pump Alarms

If your sump pump has failed and you were in danger of being flooded you may never know until the basement or crawl space is already flooded.  A battery-powered alarm is included with each of our sump pumps that automatically sounds off when the water rises to a level above the point where the pump(s) should normally turn on.
