Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repair Contractors

Those living in Kansas City likely have a basement in their home. Some homeowners might use theirs as another living room area, while others might use it for storage. Either way, the last thing you want is for your basement to flood, potentially ruining personal items, furniture, carpet, and more.

Investing in a sump pump is essential if your house doesn’t already have one. Not only does this plumbing device prevent flooding, but it will also keep your basement free from humidity, leaks, and foul odors.

If you’re looking for sump pump installation or repair services for your home, contact Anthony Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric. We have the skills and experience to ensure a smooth installation or repair.

What Is a Sump Pump?

Generally speaking, a sump pump removes water from your basement, crawl space, and outside your home. Sump pumps are considered critical plumbing equipment, as they will remove any excess water that has accumulated into a water-collecting sump basin. The water is then transported elsewhere, ideally into a storm drain.

The sump pump itself sits in a small pit carved into the floor of your basement. There is typically a pump cover on the top of the hole. This ensures your family's safety and keeps nasty odors from entering your home.

Sump Pump Installation Services

Anthony offers sump pump installation in Kansas City and the surrounding area. There are two types of sump pumps we offer, which include:

• Submersible Sump Pump: This pump sits inside the sump pit and operates with a quieter, waterproof motor.
• Pedestal Sump Pump: This pump is more accessible as it sits on the floor. However, since it is above ground, it tends to be noisier.

Each type of pump has pros and cons, so discussing the best option for your home with a plumbing professional is essential.

Sump pumps are typically hard-wired into your home’s electrical system, though some units have a battery backup. Storms can easily cause power outages, which puts your sump pump at risk of failure. Since these storms can cause flooding, it’s imperative to have a battery backup or water-pressure-powered unit, as these are safer options for your home.

At Anthony, we offer both battery and water-pressure-powered sump pumps.

Sump Pump Repair Services

Sump pumps come with a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Whether your sump pump is getting older or is having problems, contact Anthony for sump pump repair services in Kansas City.
