The sump pump is usually the final mechanism to get water out of a basement within a waterproofing system. If the sump fails, your basement has the potential to get flooded no matter how much you paid to dry it up. Choosing a reliable sump pump will give you the confidence that your basement will stay dry and your investment is protected. Besides the pump itself, there are other elements of a good sump pump system that are very important.
A quality sump liner will not allow a pump to clog with mud or debris. You'll need a liner that will hold a good amount of water to avoid "short cycling" (turning on and off very quickly).
There's a reason why pump manufacturers don't give lifetime warranties on their pumps. If an irresponsible contractor tells you that they offer a lifetime warranty or "free replacements forever," they are most likely trying to seduce you to purchase their entire solution. The reality is, by the time you need a "free" replacement, your basement will have already been flooded.
A sump lid with a floor drain can handle plumbing leaks which flood out onto the basement floor.
In order to stop debris from falling in to the system that could potentially clog the pump or switch, prevent water from evaporating out of the sump hole into your basement, and to quiet the system, the sump should have an air-tight lid. Depending on the cover, it can also make the installation look good too. Instead of a necessary evil in your home, you have a thoughtfully engineered system.
The pump is elevated off of the bottom of the sumpliner with the "CleanPump Stand," eliminating possibility of any silt, sediment, mud or debris to clog or affect the pump. The pump being elevated also keeps the check valve and discharge pipe clean.
Unless you have an alarm on your sump pump, there will be no way to tell if your pump has failed and you are in danger of being flooded. It is essential to have a battery-powered alarm that automatically sounds off when the water reaches a level above the point where the pump(s) should normally turn on.
Consider all of these possibilities, it can happen to you...
• The power going out one day – which usually happens in a big storm with rain
• The pump coming unplugged
• The circuit breaker tripping
• The primary pump failing
• The primary pump not being able to keep up with the amount of water in a very heavy rain
