Protect Your Home from Flooding
A sump pump can offer you invaluable peace of mind, knowing that your home is protected against flooding and water damage. Typically housed in a special pit below or within the basement or crawl space, sump pumps pump excess water out of the basement/away from the foundation of your home. While not every CA home needs a sump pump, you may want to consider having one installed if your home is prone to flooding or susceptible to significant water damage. We provide plumbing services in Oakland, CA.

How Do Sump Pumps Work?
There are two main types of sump pumps: submersible sump pumps and pedestal sump pumps. A submersible sump pump is generally entirely hidden, as it resides inside the sump tank. A pedestal sump pump, on the other hand, typically has a long, exposed pillar that extends above the tank. With a pedestal sump pump, the motor is mounted on top of this pillar.
Both submersible and pedestal sump pumps operate in generally the same way:
- The pump is installed at the lowest point of the basement or within a crawl space underneath the house.
- A system of drain tiles carries excess standing water (after a flood, burst pipe, etc.) to the sump tank (also known as the sump pit).
- Once the tank has filled to a certain level, an automatic switching device turns on the sump pump, which begins moving water out of the tank and away from the house via a pipe or hose.
- Once the water level in the tank has decreased to a certain level, the pump automatically turns off.
