Sump Pump Services in Rhode Island

Our team of Providence plumbing experts install the sump pump in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace. Its purpose is to help keep the area under the building dry and prevent it from flooding. Water flows into the sump pit through drains or by natural water migration through the soil. The sump pump pushes the water out of the pit and away from the building, so the basement stays dry.

Our Rhode Island sump pump technicians offer:

• Sump pump installation
• Sump pump repair
• Sump pump maintenance

Sump pumps can protect your home from minor flooding, heavy rains, or poor drainage systems. Even when basements are sealed well, your basement still can leak over time, especially once the water runoff backs up around the foundation of your home.

Sump Pump Installation Process

Our Providence sump pump installation team can help you choose the right type of sump pump for you depending on how often your basement floods. If your basement floods often, we recommend an extra-powerful sump pump that will keep the water out of your home’s foundation. Some pumps are submerged, which tends to be more effective, though others are placed on a pedestal.

The first step to installing a sump pump is to dig a pit in an area where the water can already be channeled. If the water isn’t already flowing to a specific area, we may need to install a series of drain tiles or a French drain system to move the water toward that area. Once the sump pump is installed, it will trigger a float switch on the sump pump, and it will start pumping water from the pit.
