Sump Pump Installation for Do-It-Yourselfers

Home Improvement News

According to recent surveys, over 85% of all homes with basements will experience some form of wet basement problems in their lifetime. Installing a sump pump in the basement can be a great benefit, even if it’s only to keep the water from getting deep or to act as a floor drain.

What To Buy
Sump pumps are generally sold according to the horsepower rating of the pump motor. You will see 1/4 horsepower, 1/3 horsepower and 1/2 horsepower pumps available. Although the horsepower of the pump is a good “yardstick” to use in judging which size pump to buy, a more accurate way is to look at the GPH or, Gallons Per Hour that the unit is capable of pumping. For instance, you will find 1/2 horsepower sump pumps that can pump 3,000 gallons per hour and you will also see other 1/2 horsepower pumps that are capable of pumping over 7,500 gallons per hour. As you can see, horsepower ratings are not very accurate in judging which size pump to buy. Generally, I like to buy a larger pump than necessary because it will usually last a lot longer because it doesn’t have to work so hard. - Sump Pump Install
