When you own a home, you must rely on modern sewage technology to prevent your basement from flooding. That’s why Attic Projects provides sump pump services to ensure your home is protected.
A sump pump is a piece of equipment placed in a sump pit created at the lowest point of your home, like basements or crawl spaces. This pit stores your basement sump pump. A sump pump system only works when needed. However, it’s a crucial device to save your Seattle home from extensive water damage and associated repairs.
Simply put, a sump pump removes water from your basement and moves it away from your home. After the sump pump installation, a valve senses when water levels or pressure are escalating. When there is heavy rain, the soil around your home gets oversaturated.
Excess water flows toward the sump pit, filling it with water. As water fills the hole, the sump pump float switch activates and turns the pump on. Once the switch is activated, the pump turns on, moves water into a discharge line, and guides it away from your home’s foundation.
Many homeowners question why they need a sump pump installation if their basement has never flooded. While that may be true, you never know when a flood could happen, and a sump pump will save the day.
Any homeowner with an underground level should have a sump pump installed. It alleviates flooding and helps keep basement humidity low, reducing the chances of mold and mildew growth. Wet basements are the perfect environment for additional problems like:
Contact Attic Projects for sump pump services and access to an experienced sump pump installation professional from our network of certified plumbers to get this valuable device installed in your home.
There’s more to a sump pump than keeping your home from flooding. In fact, they provide many benefits for your home. Temperatures can drop dramatically in the winter. It’s frigid outside, but your basement remains warmer and drier throughout the season when you have a sump pump.
The ice and snow eventually melt, making your sump pump beneficial throughout the year. However, if your sump pump operation is irregular, you likely have a problem. Call a qualified sump pump repair specialist to promptly repair your system.
Yes, a sump pump can freeze. However, a frozen sump pump usually means the discharge line exiting the pump is frozen. Although the pump can freeze, it’s not as likely to happen because it’s kept inside your home.
Still, it’s possible and usually caused by a previous condition that stops water from passing through the discharge lines. To treat a frozen pump, whatever is blocking the line must be removed.
Typically, it must be thawed and assessed for damage that may have occurred. Before it can be used again, the sump pump must be restarted.
Adding some insulation to your sump pump can help prevent a frozen discharge line, just like it does for plumbing pipes that course through your home. This helps prevent the water from freezing and keeps it moving through the line.
Other insulation methods include burying the discharge line deeper underground or using hay and a tarp to protect the line. Insulation may help keep your sump pump from external damage and contain any existing leaks.
If you notice that your sump pump does freeze this winter, seek professional help to unthaw the frozen discharge line. Prompt attention is crucial to protecting your home from water damage.
Sump pumps are a vital part of maintaining any Washington home. If you don’t have one, you’re missing out on a valuable layer of protection. A sump pump can prevent extensive water damage in your basement or crawl space.
The pump installation costs will always outweigh the cost of the extensive repairs you’d need to pay to remedy any damage. The average costs depend on the size and setup of your system and if there’s any existing water damage in your home.

It’s a stressful situation when you find black mold in your home. The guys at Attic Projects were professional, polite and respectfully clean. They finished the job in a timely manner and went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied with their work.

Getting a new sump pump or replacing an old one is a smart move to keep groundwater at bay in your basement. A well-functioning sump pump is designed to gather extra water around your foundation and pump it away, reducing the chances of water seeping in. We offer professional services for sump pumps. We aim to ensure your basement stays dry and shielded from any groundwater troubles.
While a sump pump mainly tackles water issues, it can indirectly help control radon levels and other gases in your basement. By handling water and dampness, which can create conditions favorable for radon, a sump pump may indirectly support efforts to manage radon. For specific radon mitigation, additional steps like proper ventilation and sealing might be necessary. Attic Projects understands the unique conditions in your California or Washington basement and can suggest tailored solutions.
If your sump pump is constantly running, it could signal an underlying issue that needs attention. While some on-and-off operation is normal, continuous running might mean the pump struggles to keep up with water or that there’s a constant water source. Attic Projects suggests having your sump pump checked by a certified professional to identify and fix potential problems. Regular maintenance and prompt intervention can keep your sump pump in top shape, ensuring reliable protection against basement water issues in California and Washington.
