In a region known for nor’easters, heavy spring rains, and a high water table, a sump pump isn’t just an appliance—it’s your home’s primary guardian against basement flooding. A properly installed and maintained sump pump can save you from catastrophic water damage.
JC Masonry & Concrete installs hundreds of sump pumps in Long Island homes every year. Here’s what you need to know.
How a Sump Pump Works
Installed in a specially dug pit (sump crock) at the lowest point of your basement, the pump activates automatically when water levels rise, ejecting the water away from your home’s foundation via a discharge pipe.
Choosing the Right Sump Pump for Your Home
- Submersible vs. Pedestal: Submersible pumps are quieter, more powerful, and installed inside the crock, making them our preferred choice for most homes.
- Horsepower: We’ll recommend the right power for your home’s specific water table and basement size.
- The Crucial Battery Backup: Power often fails during the worst storms. A battery backup system is non-negotiable on Long Island to keep your basement dry when you need it most.
Why Professional Installation is Key
Improper installation can lead to pump failure, improper drainage, and even code violations. Our team ensures your pump is correctly sized, placed, and connected to a discharge line that carries water safely away from your foundation.
