Most municipalities that require a permit also require a sump pump. The pump is normally discharged to a drywell system that we install. There are a few circumstances that require an alternative connection, such as trenching a line to a culvert drain, natural watershed....ect.

Most of our basement waterproofing installations require a sump pump as well. We only install the 3/4 horse Pitboss pumps and do not recommend any pump smaller than a half horse. The 3/4 horsepower PitBoss pump is capable of discharging up to 3480 gallons of water per hour on a 10 foot lift.

The location of the sump pump crock is usually in an inconspicuous corner of the home. Located near a downspout (storm sewer). This allows the water around the foundation to exit the home quickly.

Pump installations require an electrical circuit to be installed. The customer is responsible to supply a 20 amp circuit for power to the pump. Please ask your basement waterproofing consultant for more details if required.
