What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a device used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump pit. The sump pit acts as a catch basin that weeping tile drains into. The pump is activated when the water level in the pit rises to a certain point then a float activates a switch, and it pumps the water out and away from the house, usually through a pipe that leads to a drainage system or a nearby storm drain. Sump pumps are important for preventing water damage and mold growth in areas that are prone to flooding or excessive moisture along with draining off the exterior or interior weeping tile.

Sump Pump Installation Considerations

Backup power source: If you live in an area that experiences power outages, a backup power source such as a battery backup system can ensure that your sump pump continues to operate during an outage.
Pump capacity: The capacity of the pump refers to how much water it can move in a given time period. The size of the pump should be chosen based on the amount of water expected to accumulate in the pit.
Pump switch: The pump switch controls when the sump pump turns on and off. Options include a float switch that is triggered by the water level, or a pressure switch that is triggered by water pressure.
Discharge location: The water that is pumped out of the sump pit must be discharged somewhere. Options include a discharge pipe that leads to a drainage system, a storm drain, or a dry well.
Alarm system: An alarm system can be installed to alert you when the sump pump is not working properly or when the water level in the pit is too high.

Cost of Sump Pump Installation in Edmonton

The cost of a sump pump system installation can vary widely depending on factors such as the type and quality of the pump, the size and complexity of the sump pit, and the location and accessibility of the installation site.
