Our sump pump was built specifically by our engineers, and it was tested by our quality assurance department for more than 3 years before it was launched to the public. It's highly recommended to add battery backup systems to our sump pump because heavy storms often come with power outages. We usually advise installing our sump pump liner along with the sump pump. Our sump pump liner features wide, perforated openings that facilitate easy groundwater access and allow it to be pumped out. A built-in pump stand keeps dirt away from the impeller.

We Set Up Multiple Types of Sump Pumps

Several different types of sump pump systems are available. Our team assesses the specific needs of your property and provide a tailored recommendation.

Our Southside sump pump installation specialists are prepared to assist with many types of configurations, including those involving:

Pedestal Sump Pumps

Pedestal pumps, as the name suggests, sits above the sump basin, with its motor raised above the sump. This allows it to stay dry even when water fills up the basin. This specific design gives pedestal pumps an edge in terms of lifespan, making them more durable than submersible models.

Another key differentiator is that pedestal pumps are simple to repair and maintain due to their raised design. However, they can be noisier and less discreet compared to submersible pumps due to their exposed design. Our pedestal sump pump systems can be made with plastic or cast-iron materials. Our selection includes 1/3 and 1/2 horsepower pumps, and thermoplastic pump housings.

Submersible Sump Pumps

Submersible sump pumps are designed to be fully immersed in the sump basin. Differing from pedestal designs, the motor of a submersible pump is encased in a waterproof housing, allowing it to function underwater. When water levels rise above a set point, the float switch engages, activating the pump.

The pump then draws water through its intake and expels it out via the pump’s discharge pipe. This keeps flooding at bay and potential water damage by moving water away from the property.

A notable benefit of submersible pumps is their noise-reducing design. Because the pump is underwater, the water dampens the noise, making the system much quieter. 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. This type of pump is well-suited for homes with access to well water and a useful secondary system for a main sump pump, with no battery or electricity required.

They work by utilizing a home's water pressure from the city water supply to draw water out of your sump pit. They will keep functioning as long as your home receives municipal water pressure.
