Schedule Sump Pump Installation Services For Your Texas Home

As a homeowner, maintaining the state of your property comes with many challenges. Water pooling in your lawn is just one example of this — but unfortunately, this problem may just be the tip of the iceberg. In fact, pooling water could be a precursor to a more serious issue — foundation damage.

At G.L. Hunt, our team is ready to defend your home from the effects of foundation problems and water damage by offering dependable installations for sump pumps! Join our team as we share the information you need to understand how this option can help.

Fight Landscape Flooding With Sump Pump System Installation

Out of sight, out of mind — and into your home! Without an effective drainage system installed on your property, that’s the path water will take as it falls out of the sky and into your soil.

This is because once water hits the ground, it will slip deeper and deeper into your soil. Drainage systems, like gutters, re-direct this rainfall on the roofline, but without one on the ground level, the water has free reign to approach your foundation and seep in.

This can cause soil to shift and concrete to crack — neither of which is good for the integrity of your home. If you have a crawlspace or your home is built on a slope, these low-lying areas are at an increased risk, but many homes can be affected by poor drainage even in a seemingly flat neighborhood.

That’s where sump pumps come in! These devices can collect water and move it away, stopping it before it reaches your home.

Understanding The Mechanics: How Does A Sump Pump Work?

During a sump pump installation, the system will be installed at a low point in your home. This could be a basement or a crawlspace, or some other low lying area. From there, the main system is connected to pipes that lead outside.

As water spreads through the soil and approaches your home, a pipe will be there to collect the water and lead it to the sump basin inside. This basin will be connected to a float switch. Once the water reaches a certain point, the float switch will activate.

The water will be pushed upward through another pipe and away from your house. Each step in this process works together to protect your home from water damage.

Sump Pump Drainage Placement

Many homeowners may know sump pumps as the classic basement flooding solution, but many homes in Texas don’t have basements! Instead, we install sump pumps in crawl spaces, near low-lying driveways and in coordination with other drainage systems.

If your home relies on French or surface drains to guide water away from your foundation, you may utilize a sump basin to collect the water and pump it further from your property. Long driveways and other pathways on your property may also benefit from more effective drainage, like a sump pump, to keep them from flooding or accumulating stormwater.
