Collect water from drains or natural accumulation
Automatically activate when water reaches a set level
Pump excess water safely away from the foundation
Professional services ensure the right system is selected based on:
Pit size and water volume
Local groundwater conditions
Discharge requirements
Two main types are used depending on your property needs:
Operate fully underwater
Quieter and better for long run times
Sealed against moisture and humidity
Motor sits above the pit
Easier to service and access
Keeps electrical parts further from water
Professionals evaluate your setup to recommend the best option.
Alarms add a critical layer of protection by detecting:
High water levels
Pump failures
Power outages
