Sump Pump Installation

Protect Your Basement With a New Sump Pump

If you’ve ever experienced a basement flood or water damage in your home, you might consider having a sump pump installed. This is a wise move! In times of severe weather, heavy rain, or snowmelt, your basement can take on water. A sump pump can help save your home and possessions from water damage, fungus, and mildew. Many local homeowners have found that their houses were designed with less-than-ideal drainage or were poorly situated on the property lot. To protect the structure of your home from decay and rot, as well as avoid mold damage and unhealthy bacterial growth, a sump pump could be just what you need.

The Witmer Company provides expert sump pump installation, repair, and maintenance, to the entire New Holland and Lancaster area. We also offer sump pump repair as part of our emergency plumbing services.

Installing Reliable Sump Pumps for Local Homeowners

Our team of well-trained and experienced plumbers can recommend the best sump pump model for your home. We will promptly install your new sump pump to help solve your past drainage and flooding issues. The pump also serves to lower the hydrostatic pressure that works against your home’s foundation over time. This occurs when moisture accumulates in the ground around your house, creating pressure that can push water through any minor cracks in its foundation.

In some cases, a sump basin may be recommended to block the excess groundwater in the soil. (Incidentally, the basin can also help prevent dangerous radon gas from entering your home, and the Department of Environmental Protection calls the radon problem in Lancaster one of the worst in the country.)

Consider a Sump Pump Power Backup

Unfortunately, your sump pump alone can’t protect your home in the case of a weather-related power outage or an unnoticed blown fuse. That’s why we often recommend installing a backup power supply along with new sump pump installations so that your home stays continually safe from groundwater flooding. It’s a great peace of mind to have, especially if you’re out of town during a storm. If your wet basement is due to a drain or sewer problem, or even appears to be a furnace-related issue, we can help with that, too.
