"West Shore Homes installed a new shower. They were so friendly and worked efficiently. I was expecting to have to clean up after they were done, but they did all of that for me. My new shower is beautiful and I am happy with the work that was done and each employee that I had contact with"

Sump Pump Installation questions, answered by experts

3/4 HP is stronger than 1/2 HP. Horsepower measures how much weight can be moved and how fast, or the power needed to move 550 pounds one foot in one second. 1 HP equals 550 foot-pounds per second, so the higher the horsepower, the heavier the load it can lift. While 1/2 HP is a standard, powerful option, 3/4 HP has the extra strength to handle heavier, larger doors with ease.

The life span of a properly maintained sump pump is about a decade. The broader life span for sump pumps is five to 15 years. If your sump pump is tripping a breaker or showing other signs of malfunction, it may be time to consider a replacement regardless of your sump pump's age. You should have someone who installs sump pumps check for corrosion and worn spots to stay ahead of issues with your sump pump. Additionally, replacing the float switch every two years is part of routine sump pump maintenance.

When a backflow valve fails, wastewater will flow back into your system, contaminating your drinking water. You’ll immediately notice backflow valve failure from a rotten smell and brown water coming from faucets. Get in contact with a septic pro or a plumber immediately if you suspect this has happened to you.

Sump pumps remove excess water from the lowest point of your home, which prevents flooding. When a sump pit fills with water, a sump pump pushes that water outside of the basin and into an exterior discharge pipe. From there, the water flows away from your home, so it doesn’t damage your foundation.

A sump pump battery backup can typically run for 6 to 24 hours. The factors that affect its runtime include the battery capacity and pump usage. 

When purchasing your backup system, take these factors into consideration to determine which system is best for your home. If you live in an area with frequent and long-lasting power outages, consider a longer-lasting backup battery.
