Basement sump pumps linked to sub-floor waterproofing systems are considered to be the most reliable and cost effective solution to basement water problems.
Basement sump pumps come in many varieties and are diversified by horsepower. Most basement sump pumps are available in 1/3HP, 1/2HP and 3/4HP models. Basement sump pumps should be adaptable to 1½" PVC pipe for ease of installation. The 1½" PVC pipe is more than sufficient to handle large amounts of water in a de-watering situation. A 1/2HP pump is the best option for most basement waterproofing projects.
You can always buy a sump pump from a big box retailer, install it on your own over a weekend of hard manual labor, and forego a guarantee that it will work as intended in time of extreme need. Or...you can hire a professional to do it for you. 1-800-Busy Dog Basement Technologies has years of experience installing sump pumps of all sizes in basements and crawlspaces alike.
