Sump Pump – Maryland and Virginia

Many homes in our area can benefit from a sump pump system, particularly during the wet and wintery months. In most cases, the unit will be hardwired to the house’s electrical system and will have a battery backup system, in case the power should fail. This backup system is important because the pump needs to run constantly in order to prevent an overflow.

The sump pump may be connected to the municipal storm drain or even a sewer system, depending on your home’s setup. There are two basic types of sump pumps in Virginia and Maryland – a pedestal unit and a submersible unit. A pedestal unit is mounted above the flood area, while a submersible unit is mounted below the flood area and sealed to protect the electrical circuits. Not sure which type is right for you? An experienced My Plumber technician can help you determine which sump pump model will work best in your VA or MD home.
