A sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water collecting sump pit, commonly found in the basement of homes. Sump pumps are often used where basement flooding happens regularly and send water away from a house to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain or dry well. If you are experiencing problems with your sump pump, interested in performing sump pump maintenance or would like to install new sump pump equipment, Kanga Rooter can help.
Heavy-Duty Sump Pumps
Sump pumps are designed to remove unwanted water, such as surface or ground water that leaks into your home. Sump pumps should be maintained; typical recommendations suggest examining equipment every year. Pumps running frequently due to higher water table, water drainage, or weather conditions should be examined more frequently. Sump pumps, being highly mechanical, will fail eventually, which could lead to a flooded basement requiring costly repairs. If you’re ready to have your sump pump inspected or need repair, call Kanga Rooter. We will assess your situation and offer solutions to fit your unique home and budget.
Ejector (Sewage) Pumps
Unlike sump pumps, which are responsible only for carrying water from your home, ejector pumps are designed to pump residential or household sewage or backward to a destination such as an elevated septic tank or city sewer. If the geography of your home prevents the sewer from flowing fast enough on its own, an ejector pump is needed. If you suspect you need an ejector pump installed or would like to have an inspection performed, Kanga Rooter will visit your home to assess the situation and offer solutions to fit your home and budget.
Battery Back-Up Sump Pump
If you live in an area prone to flooding or just desire peace of mind, a battery back-up sump pump can be installed in your home to operate if the first pump fails. Battery back up sump pumps are as powerful and effective as your main sump pump but turns on automatically when it is triggered under certain circumstances. Kanga Rooter is skilled in installing battery back-up sump pumps and our equipment ensures additional peace of mind through warranty coverage at a minimum of one year.
