Sump pumps play a crucial role in preventing basement flooding, protecting your property from water damage, and ensuring your peace of mind. In this comprehensive guide, we will dive into the world of sump pumps, covering types, installation, and the vital aspect of maintenance.
Types of Sump Pumps
Choosing the right sump pump for your home is essential. At Top Notch Heating and Plumbing, we offer a variety of options to suit your specific needs.
- Submersible Sump Pumps: Installed inside the sump pit, these pumps are sealed to prevent water damage and operate quietly. They are ideal for finished basements.
- Pedestal Sump Pumps: With the motor placed above the sump pit, these pumps are easier to service. They are a cost-effective choice and work well in smaller spaces.
