Our Cottondale sump pump installation specialists are prepared to assist with many types of configurations, such as:

Pedestal Sump Pumps

Pedestal pumps, as indicated, sits above the sump basin, with the motor positioned above the sump basin. This ensures the motor remains dry even during high water levels. This specific design allows pedestal pumps to last longer, as they tend to last significantly longer submersible models.

One major advantage is that pedestal pumps are easier to service and maintain due to their raised design. On the downside, they tend to be louder and less subtle compared to submersible pumps because of the exposed motor. You can choose between plastic or cast-iron materials for our pedestal systems. You can select from 1/3 horsepower pumps, 1/2 horsepower pumps, and pump bodies made from thermoplastic materials.

Submersible Sump Pumps

Submersible sump pumps operate fully submerged in the sump basin. In contrast to pedestal models, their motors are enclosed within waterproof materials, enabling operation while underwater. As water levels increase 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 of the basin through a discharge pipe. This prevents flooding and potential water damage through safe water removal.

One significant advantage of submersible pumps is how quiet they are. Because the pump is underwater, the water in the basin absorbs the noise, resulting in less noise compared to pedestal pumps. However, submersible pumps tend to have shorter lifespans since they are continuously exposed to water.

Water-Driven Sump Pumps

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

These pumps operate by using a home's water pressure from municipal water sources to remove water of your sump pit. They will keep functioning as long as your home has municipal water pressure.
