Sump Pump Installation – Retro-Fit
If your Baltusrol home is getting water in the basement there are several things you can do.
If the water is localized to one area, a sump pump and pit may be the solution. Installing a sump pump in an existing basement will draw water from under your foundation and pump it to a low lying area of your yard keeping the water from entering the basement.
Retrofitting a Sump Pump
A sump pump installation involves making a hole in your existing basement floor and excavation of approx. 3 feet of material to set the sump pit properly. The sump pit is back-filled with gravel to allow water to leech into the pit where it can be removed for flood prevention. The pit is then cemented in, level with the floor and fitted with a lid. A quality [sump pump|pump] is installed, with a 5 year warranty on parts and labor, sized based on your home and the amount of water we are dealing with.
Sump Pump Installation is the first step and sometimes the key to basement waterproofing. While French drains will move water from around your home to one or more pits, a sump pump can only collect water that flows underground near it making it preferred for single spot remediation.
A sump pump acts like a straw in a Slurpee, pulling water from the area below your home, allowing more groundwater to leech downwards. By doing this, the water will not create as much hydrostatic pressure on your walls and have somewhere to go, instead of entering your basement.
Finished Basement
If your Baltusrol basement is already finished, and you are only getting water in one area, we always recommend a sump pump installation as the first step. Installing French drains requires [digging up|excavation of] the entire perimeter of your basement and may require the demolition of walls, and a large expense.
Initially, if you have the tolerance for a little water (if your basement is not finished), installing a sump pump first could save you thousands of dollars. After installing the sump pump, you will get a better idea of how it is handling the water in your Baltusrol home. By all means, if you are refinishing your basement and/or keeping valuables stored, have your HVAC unit, Water Heater, etc. directly on the floor (best practice is to install them on 4″ Concrete Slab for flood protection), you may want to proceed with French drains from the start.
Replacement Sump Pump
When installing a new sump pump, you should expect to get 7-10 years out of it with minimal annual maintenance. We recommend replacing your pump every 9 years if you are not maintaining it regularly. Sump pump replacement as your system ages will insure that your pump is ready to handle any storm or snow melt.
Check Valve Replacement
Check valves fail. When they do, they put unnecessary pressure on your pump to continuously pump the same water out, over and over. Give your pump the attention it needs!
Discharge Line Repair
Improperly installed discharge lines can fail for multiple reasons. Improper slope can allow water to collect and freeze, accidental breakage, excess sunlight can weaken your discharge line.
Sump Pump Repair
Pump not working properly? Water spinning, float stuck, pump making new noises? Call early when the first problems arise and save yourself from needing to replace the pump.
