Sump Pump Installation Virginia
What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is a water management device that is installed within the crawl space. The sump pump collects water from the soil in crawl space to a sump liner, and then pumps to the exterior to keep the moisture from building up under the vapor barrier.
Especially in areas like Richmond, Chesterfield, and Williamsburg where rain is consistent it’s important to remember that without a sump pump being present standing water can build up in the crawl space. If this occurs mold will surely follow causing extensive damage to your home. Installing a sump pump when paired with other drainage methods is the best way to avoid large amounts of water building up in the crawl space.
Where is a Sump Pump Placed in a Crawl Space?
The sump pump placement in your crawl space should be decided by a professional due to the complex factors surrounding it. Sump pump placement is determined by the grade of the crawl space, the grade of the surrounding landscape, best water pump out location, foundation type, and the lowest possible point of crawl space. Sump pumps also require a certified electrician to install as well. While it’s possible to install a sump pump on one’s own, due to the comprehensive understanding it takes to install it is recommended for a professional.
