Types of Sump Pump Solutions

At Helitech, we offer reliable sump pump solutions to keep your basement dry and protected. When it comes to keeping your basement dry, Helitech offers two main types of sump pumps: submersible and pedestal.

Submersible Sump Pump
The Submersible sump pump is installed below the floor level, hidden in a sump pit. It activates when water rises to a certain level, pumping it out through a discharge pipe. This sump pump solution it’s less visible and usually lasts longer.

Pedestal Sump Pump
Mounted above the sump, this sump pump is easier to service but more visible. It’s typically more budget-friendly, though it may not last as long as submersible pumps. Both options ensure your basement stays dry by pumping out excess water efficiently.

Basement Sump Pump Reinforcement

If you’re considering a sump pump installation, there are important factors to keep in mind:

  • Battery Backup: A backup battery system ensures your pump works even during power outages. This is crucial if your basement has a higher water load.
  • Backup Pump: For heavy water flow, consider an additional sump pump for extra security.
  • Float Sensor: This triggers the pump when water levels rise and sounds an alarm if action is needed.
  • Dehumidifiers: Help control moisture, preventing mold, odors, and potential flooding.
 

Helitech professionals will thoroughly assess your home’s specific needs and recommend the best sump pump solution to keep your basement dry. By working with Helitech, you can be confident that your home will be protected from water damage with a tailored, effective solution that meets your needs.
