Sump Pump Installation & Repair Dayton, OH

Massie Creek offers complete sump pump installation and repair services Dayton business and home owners need. A sump pump is an important component in protecting your home or building from water damage. It is installed in a sump pit in the basement or crawl space and is designed to pump out excess water that has accumulated in the pit.

Regular maintenance and inspection of your sump pump is essential to ensure that it is working correctly and will be able to effectively protect your place when it is needed most.

Understanding the different types of pumps can help determine which one works best for your residential or commercial building.

Submersible: These sit in the groundwater, which helps to keep them from overheating.

Pedestal: These are air-cooled. This means they require a lot more space and air flow in order to avoid overheating. If you have a small space, it may not be the best option.

But don’t worry – Massie Creek will help determine which solution is right for you.

First, we must determine the best location for the sump pit. The pit should be installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawl space to ensure that it collects as much water as possible. It should also be close to a power source so that the pump can be easily connected. After we figure out the optimal location, we then excavate the pit. This involves digging a hole that is large enough to accommodate the sump pump. The size of the hole will depend on the size of the pump you are installing.

Once the pit excavated, our trained technicians then start the installation process. We secure it to the floor and then attach the discharge pipe to run it out of the pit to the exterior of the home. The discharge pipe should be sloped downward to allow water to flow freely out of the pit. Once it’s secured, we then connect it to a power source and an additional backup power source if needed.

Finally, after installing the check valve, an important component that prevents water from flowing back into the pit, we test the system. This is done by pouring water into the pit to activate the pump. After activation, we make sure the water is flowing freely out of the pit. Once we determine it’s functioning properly, you’re all set!
