Sump Pumps in Cedar Grove, NJ

How Do Sump Pumps Work?

Sump pumps are placed in a trench or hole dug specifically for them, which is the part of the system known as the sump. Other types of sump pumps are placed above the sump. As water leaks or flood into your property, it fills this sump. A sensor on a floater detects the water and activates the pump. Centrifugal force first pulls the water into the system, and then pushes it up through the venting pipe. The water is automatically vented from the system and deposited safely outside your home. Your home is spared a great deal of damage in the process.

How Are Sump Pumps Installed?

A sump pump needs to be placed in the basement of your home, or at the lowest point in the crawlspace if you don’t have a basement. That’s where the floodwaters will gather when the rains fall, and the spot where the sump pump can do the most good. A technician will need to connect it to a power source and set up a venting pipe to remove the excess water from your home as the pump works. Finally, you’ll need to determine the required power level for your sump pump, ensuring that it can handle any workload no matter how heavily the rains fall.
