Understanding Sump Pumps
Sump pumps are a critical component in many residential and commercial properties, especially those in areas susceptible to flooding or with high groundwater levels. A sump pump system typically includes a sump pit, pump, float switch, and a discharge pipe. The pump’s job is to redirect water away from the property’s foundation and basement, thereby preventing any potential water damage or flooding.
Types of Sump Pumps: Submersible and Pedestal
When considering a new sump pump system, it’s essential to choose the type that best fits your needs:
- Submersible Sump Pumps: A submersible sump pump is installed directly in the sump pit and is designed to be water-resistant. This type of pump is quieter and generally more powerful, making it ideal for homes that experience significant flooding events.
- Pedestal Sump Pumps: Unlike their submersible counterparts, pedestal pumps are mounted above the sump pit. This makes them easier to maintain and repair, though they can be noisier and less aesthetically pleasing.
Key Components of Sump Pump Installation
Proper sump pump installation is crucial so that your system operates efficiently and effectively. Here are the main components involved:
- Sump Pump Pit: The pit or basin is the first step in the installation process. It must be strategically placed in the lowest part of your basement or crawl space.
- Pump Installation: Whether it’s a submersible pump or a pedestal pump, correct installation is key to reliable operation. This includes securely attaching the float switch and ensuring the sump pump motor is correctly aligned.
- Discharge Pipe: The discharge line plays an important role in expelling the collected water away from the home.
- Sump Pump Lid: A securely fitted lid helps prevent debris from entering the sump pit and reduces noise when the pump operates.
Common Installation Challenges
Installing a sump pump can come with its own set of challenges, such as determining the correct size of the pump. An improperly installed sump pump can lead to failures and inadequate water management. Therefore, it is crucial to work with experienced professionals like us to handle the installation.
The Importance of a Backup Pump System
For homes prone to heavy rain or high water tables, a backup pump system is essential. A battery backup can provide peace of mind during power outages.

What Our Customers Say
Had the pleasure of doing business with Blanton and Sons. Wesley is the most competent Plumber I have ever dealt with in my career. Very impressive! He was on time, respectful, knowledgeable, and gave me all my options explaining them thoroughly allowing us to decide what was best for our home. It seemed to be going too well. The project went off without a hitch exactly how Wesley described when explaining the process and the quality of work was impeccable! If your reading this look no further than the Blanton crew!
Derek H.
Our hot water heater conked out on us and I reached out to Blanton & Sons the next morning. Kayla got in touch to see if someone could come by to help us. Wesley was able to work us in and by that afternoon he was able to bring the materials back to the house. He was finished the install and put us back into “hot water” that same day. He is a very nice well-mannered, helpful young man. Kayla was great to work with also. This is the second time they were able to help us out with a project. I highly recommend Blanton & Sons for your HVAC and plumbing needs.
Cheri F.
Highly recommend this company! The appointment was super easy to make and they were able to send someone out quickly. Gary, our plumber,was very polite, professional, and informative. He not only made the repairs needed but informed us of what the problems were and how he was going about fixing them. We let him know we were moving soon and he told us about their regular maintenance program and I’m definitely interested. It’s so nice to have a solid contact you know you can trust when you need them!
