When water starts pooling near your foundation or seeping into your basement during storms, a working sump pump becomes essential. Allied Water Services installs and replaces sump pumps designed to handle the water pressure your property faces throughout the year. We set up proper pit dimensions and discharge lines that move water away from your home, preventing damage to floors, walls, and stored belongings.

Our installations include both primary and backup pump options, ensuring continuous protection even during power outages or system failures. We excavate the pit to the correct depth, install gravel bedding for drainage, and connect discharge pipes that route water to safe locations away from your foundation. Each system is tested under load to confirm it activates at the right water level and cycles properly without overworking the motor.

If you need a new system installed or an old pump replaced, reach out to discuss which setup works best for your basement.

What's Included in This Service

You can expect a full assessment of your basement layout, existing drainage conditions, and the volume of water your property typically encounters. We measure the lowest points where water collects, determine the appropriate pump capacity, and position the discharge line to prevent recirculation back toward the foundation. The pit is lined with gravel to allow groundwater to flow freely into the sump basin without clogging the intake.

After installation, your basement stays dry even during heavy rain because water is removed before it has a chance to spread across the floor. Allied Water Services also offers maintenance and service visits to clean the pit, test the float switch, and verify the check valve is holding. Backup pumps provide a second line of defense when the primary unit is overwhelmed or loses power.

We use pumps rated for continuous duty cycles and install check valves to prevent backflow. Discharge lines are buried or routed to daylight locations where water can drain without creating new problems. This service does not include foundation repair or grading work, but it integrates with existing drain tile systems when those are already in place.

These questions cover the practical details homeowners ask before scheduling a sump pump installation or replacement.

What size sump pump do I need for my basement?

Pump size depends on the square footage of your basement, the depth of your water table, and how quickly water enters during storms. We measure flow rates and select a pump with enough horsepower to handle peak conditions without running constantly.

How long does a sump pump installation take?
Most installations are completed in four to six hours, including pit excavation, pump setup, and discharge line routing. Replacing an existing pump in an already prepared pit usually takes two to three hours.

What happens if the power goes out during a storm?
A backup sump pump with a battery or water-powered system continues removing water even when the primary pump loses power. We recommend backup systems in areas where storms frequently cause outages.

Where does the discharge water go?
We route discharge lines to a location at least ten feet from your foundation, either to the surface, into a drainage swale, or connected to a storm sewer if local codes allow. The goal is to move water away without flooding neighboring areas.

How often should a sump pump be serviced?
Annual maintenance is recommended to clean the pit, test the float switch, inspect the check valve, and confirm the discharge line is clear. Pumps that run frequently or handle heavy sediment may need more frequent checks.

Sump pumps provide continuous protection as long as they are properly sized, installed in a well-constructed pit, and maintained on a regular schedule. If your basement has been flooding or your current pump is failing, contact us to schedule an evaluation and get a system that keeps up with the water your property collects.
