Few things are as vital as a sump pump when it comes to preventing flooding. This small device sits in a pit dug into a basement floor and pumps out excess water before you can get flooded! Once the water reaches a certain level, a float switch turns on the pump. Water is then pushed outside, saving you from potentially thousands in flood damage. Because longevity is vital in these devices, we only install sump pumps with average lifespans of at least 40 years.

Because floods are often accompanied by power outages, most sump pumps come with battery back-up systems. In properly-maintained devices, these can last up to two days without primary power.

If you’ve ever had flooding before, then you know how detrimental it can be. One call to Update Heating and Cooling Services can allow you to enjoy the next thunderstorm without worrying what you’ll find in the basement tomorrow.

Many people in the New Lenox area aren’t sure if they need a sump pump or not. Many assume, since they already have an ejector pump in place, that it isn’t necessary. And, this confusion is understandable since both systems:

• Are typically installed in the basement
• Sit in a basin in the floor
• Pump water out of places it doesn’t belong

Sump pumps and ejector pumps have different purposes, however. In simple terms:

• Sewage ejector pumps are involved in removing wastewater from your home. They are typically installed in homes with plumbing fixtures below the main sewerline. The pump offsets gravity so that solids and wastewater are removed from your home.
• Sump pumps remove excess water deposited by rain, snow, or plumbing links. They are completely separate from sewage systems.

In other words, if you have a basement and live in Frankfort or New Lenox, you likely need both.
