PJ's Plumbing & Heating is the West Yellowstone, MT, a premier residential sump pump contractor. If you’d like to install a sump pump for the first time or replace an old unit, our team can help. Sump pumps are excellent devices to protect your home against flooding. Floods can occur during periods of intense rainfall. You can also get moisture in your basement or crawl space when there’s saturated ground. That’s particularly problematic if the ground near your home is higher than your property.
"These guys are amazing! They were so professional great the schedule with. When they arrived they were able to replace my water heater in under an hour. I highly recommend them."
There are two main types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. Both have a sump, which is a pit where the water collects. The unit pumps the water out of the pit and channels it safely away from your home. The difference is in how they do the pumping.
A pedestal pump sits elevated above the water and height of the sump. These pumps typically feature an air-cooled motor and an extended drive shaft. The shaft turns the propeller submerged below the water. This design results in cheaper equipment that requires less maintenance. The downside is that it can’t handle high volumes of water.
Submersible pumps have a motor that’s fully enclosed within a watertight housing. This allows the entire assembly to be in the sump collecting water. That water cools the pump, which extends the life of the motor. This design can also handle a much larger volume of water. The downside is that annual professional maintenance is a necessity. Without it, pumps can fail within several years, often with little advance notice.
Another important consideration is motor horsepower. The more HP the system has, the more gallons per minute it can pump. You may also want to discuss investing in a smart pump with our installer. These systems can push notifications, such as on, off, and failure status updates.
The right sump pump provides your home many benefits:
Avoid water damage
Safeguard against mold
Protect your foundation
Improve indoor air quality
Increase your property value
Protect your basement or crawl space
