Protect Your Home with Knight Plumbing Sump Pump Installation and Repair
Many homeowners don’t realize their risk of basement flooding until it’s too late. A sudden heavy rainfall or quickly melting snow can lead to costly damages, including ruined carpets, drywall, and flooring, destroyed belongings, mould growth, and weakened foundations. Knight Plumbing helps prevent these issues with sump pumps that remove water from your basement and divert it away from your home.
You may need a sump pump if you live in:
- A low-lying area such as a river delta, valley, near a lake, or along the coast.
- A region prone to heavy rainfall.
- An area with a high water table.
- An older home that may have minor foundation cracks.
New Sump Pumps
On average, sump pumps last between 7 and 10 years, depending on factors like usage, maintenance, and build quality. If you’re unsure whether you need a new pump, one of our experienced plumbers can test your current system and provide expert recommendations. We can also offer you a customized installation quote.
Backup Sump Pumps
Heavy storms often lead to power outages, which can render your primary sump pump useless. Be prepared with a battery-operated or water-powered backup system to keep your basement dry. Our specialists will install the backup pump, explain its operation, and guide you on maintenance.
Ejector Pumps
Some homes also have ejector pumps that move sewage to your municipal sewage line or septic tank. If you need an ejector pump replacement, Knight Plumbing is here to help with that as well.
Don’t wait for the next storm to hit, ensure your home is protected by contacting Knight Plumbing for expert sump pump installation today!
