Crawl Space Sump Pump

Water in your crawl space is more serious than you might think. Excessive moisture can cause mold growth, impact air quality, and affect your property’s foundation.

So consider The Basement Guys’ crawl space waterproofing solutions, including our cutting-edge AquaStop™ sump pumps. These products remove water from your downstairs space, providing ongoing peace of mind.

What Are Crawl Space Sump Pumps?

The AquaStop™ Crawl Space Sump Pump protects your crawl space from excessive moisture and water damage. We can position this system in the lowest part of your crawl space in a sump basin, allowing it to extract water from your property via a designated discharge line.

When used with encapsulation, dehumidification, and other methods, a sump pump can enhance your home’s air quality and protect your foundation.

Is Crawl Space Waterproofing Necessary?

Waterproofing your crawl space with a sump pump prevents damage from excessive moisture. Addressing water-related problems early can avoid expensive repair bills in the future.

We never recommend DIY repairs because it can be dangerous to enter your crawl space. So call in the professionals to do the job properly!

Different Types of Crawl Space Sump Pumps

We have sump pump systems that satisfy your particular needs:

AquaStop™ Mini/Single Sump Pump System

This system comes with a compact basin for narrow crawl spaces and utilizes a powerful SafeDri™ cast iron pump for standard water extraction. Usually, we install the SafeDri™ 1/3 hp pump, which can dispel more than 2,000 gallons of water per hour.

Adding a backup battery to our single sump pump system ensures water removal of more than 11,500 gallons per hour, even during power outages.

This system features three pumps, making it our most efficient offering:

The primary SafeDri™ 1/3 hp pump handles regular water removal.

A third battery-operated backup pump guarantees uninterrupted operation during power outages.
