Trustworthy Sump Pump Installation Professionals in Alexandria, Alabama

In the event your sump pump malfunctions, it may lead to system failure, which could cause your basement to flood. For this reason, you should consider installing a high-quality sump pump system from Alexandria Plumbing Services that includes durable equipment and a high-quality battery backup to ensure your basement dry at all times, no matter the season.

We are your one-stop solution for all your sump pump installation needs in Alexandria, AL. Our qualified and professional team are available for sump pump service and repairs.

The sump pump we offer was specially designed by our engineers, and it was tested by our service department for more than 3 years before it became available to customers. It's highly recommended to add battery backup protection to our sump pump because heavy storms often come with power outages. We also typically recommend installing our sump pump liner in conjunction with the sump pump. Our sump pump liner features wide, perforated openings that facilitate easy groundwater access and allow it to be pumped out. An integrated pump stand keeps dirt away from the impeller.

We Set Up Multiple Types of Sump Pumps

There are many types of sump pump equipment available on the market. We can assess your home or commercial building’s specific needs and recommend a custom solution.

Our experienced professionals are ready to handle many types of setups, such as:

Pedestal Sump Pumps

A pedestal sump pump, as implied by its name, is placed atop a pedestal, featuring an elevated motor. This ensures the motor remains dry even during high water levels. The elevated motor allows pedestal pumps to last longer, making them more durable than other types like submersible pumps.

Another key differentiator is that pedestal pumps are simple to repair and maintain due to their elevated motor placement. On the downside, they tend to be louder and less subtle compared to submersible pumps as the motor is not submerged. We offer pedestal systems in both plastic and cast iron. Our selection includes a range of horsepower options, including 1/3 and 1/2 horsepower, and thermoplastic pump housings.

Submersible Sump Pumps

Submersible sump pumps operate fully submerged in the sump basin. In contrast to pedestal models, submersible pumps have motors housed in waterproof casings, so they can work effectively while submerged. When water levels rise above the bottom of the sump basin, a float switch is triggered, starting the pump.

Water is then pulled through the pump’s intake and expelled via the pump’s discharge pipe. This helps prevent flooding and potential water damage by moving the water away from your home.

One significant advantage of submersible pumps is their quiet operation. Because the pump is underwater, the water acts as a sound barrier, leading to quieter operation. Unfortunately, they may not last as long because of constant exposure to water.

Water-Driven Sump Pumps

Water-driven sump pumps provide a reliable backup during home sump pump failure. They are a superior option for homes with a well-water source and an advantageous backup for a main sump pump, as they don’t rely on electricity or batteries.

Water-driven sump pumps instead create suction by using a home's water pressure from municipal water sources to draw water out of your sump pit. These pumps can function indefinitely your home maintains water pressure.
