Types of Sump Pumps

Sump pumps consist of a motor and an impeller that work together to draw in water from the sump pit and pump it to a safe discharge location. There are three common types of sump pumps:

• Submersible sump pump – Designed with a sealed, waterproof motor, this sump pump sits directly in the sump pit, submerged in the water. It offers great power to pump water further away, but it is prone to clogging from accumulations of sediment and debris.
• Battery backup sump pump – Powered by lead-acid batteries, this auxiliary sump pump provides protection against flooding during power outages.

Sump Pump Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about your sump pump? Here are some common questions and answers from the team at All Comfort Services.

How many years does a sump pump last?

Sump pumps last approximately 10 years. On average, sump pumps need to be replaced every 7 to 10 years. Repairing a sump pump older than that would cost around the same price as a replacement, with much less of a return on your investment.

What is a sump pump and how does it work?

Sump pumps move water from your basement out of your home. A sump is a naturally constructed pit (basin); it’s usually a hole carved below the main surface of your basement floor. The basin holds the sump pump. The pump is equipped with valves that sense rising water levels or pressure. When the water gets too high, the sump pump automatically pumps excess water out of the basement and away from your property using a discharge line. This line, called an effluent, connects the sump pump to a designated drainage area.

What is a sump pump used for?

Sump pumps are used where basement flooding happens regularly. They are used to solve dampness where the water table is above the foundation of a home.

How often should you clean your sump pump?

In most cases, sump pumps should be cleaned and tested every three to four months. This involves opening the inlet screen (often also called the pump screen) and cleaning it out. However, in some cases, your sump pump might benefit from more regular cleanings.

Is it bad to buy a house with a sump pump?

No, actually buying a house with a sump pump is a wise decision. Even in a home that has never had a flooded basement, problems can happen. A sump pump provides vital protection for your basement or crawlspace in the event that you have a water problem. If the home you’re considering already has one, then you know you have the protection you need to avoid a basement flood.

What is the life expectancy of a sump pump?

The US Department of Housing and Development estimates that a sump pump will last about 10 years. If yours is getting near that point, you will want to keep testing it to ensure it’s working properly. Better yet, replacing it around the 10-year mark will protect you from an unwanted basement flood because your sump pump fails.
