Sump Pump Basement Installation Steps

Once a Baker’s Waterproofing expert establishes which basement pump system is the best fit for your home, we proceed with a thorough installation procedure: 

  • Determine the lowest point of the basement  
  • Excavate the floor to accommodate the sump liner  
  • Excavate the perimeter for the interior drainage system  
  • Place interior drains in the trench  
  • Connect drains to the sump basin  
  • Place pumps and components in the sump liner  
  • Add interior sump pump discharge pipes
  • Direct discharge pipes through the basement wall  
  • Install exterior discharge pipes, extensions, and discharge line attachment  
  • Run electrical hookup to control panel  
  • Attach battery backup if necessary  
  • Test the pumping system  
  • Attach an airtight lid to the sump basin  
  • Pour cement to restore the concrete floor  

How the Sump Pump Works

Here’s how the system continuously ensures a dry and secure basement: 

  • The interior drainage system captures leaking water. 
  • The water is directed to the sump pump system. 
  • When the water in the basin reaches a specified level, the pump activates. 
  • Water is removed from the basement and redirected away from your home. 

Trust Baker’s Waterproofing for efficient and reliable installation services to ensure your sump pump and basement waterproofing system function flawlessly.
