Sump pump installation is necessary for damp spaces where you don’t want water to stand or accumulate. Typically sump pumps are installed in crawl spaces or basements. They are a simple mechanical pump that turns on when water needs to be removed from a space.

Sump pump installations are complex but need to be done correctly if they are to work right. Because this isn’t a very common appliance, it is recommended that a professional plumber install them. You will need electricity nearby, so an electrician may also be necessary.

Sump pumps can be repaired when not operating correctly. It is not uncommon for the float switch – what triggers the pump to start – to go bad. While this may seem like an electrical issue, you should start by calling a plumber like All Clear Plumbing.
