Why Choose an Olshan Sump Pump For Your Basement (or Crawl Space)?
Sump pumps have gotten somewhat of a bad reputation, and rightfully so… much like an older crawl space ventilation system, an outdated sump pump can cause more trouble than it’s worth. We all have memories of that scary looking, scary sounding sump pump from back in the day. But things have changed!
Unlike the relics of yesteryear, our technologically advanced sump pump systems actually work. And they even look good too! No more headaches and no more flooded basements.
We stand by our sump pump installations by of offering a convenient, worry-free maintenance program. When it comes to preventing a wet basement never settle for a second rate pump. Choose Olshan.
How Does it Work?
We often recommend incorporating a sump pump system in many of the homes we visit as part of a comprehensive waterproofing strategy. Sump pumps forcibly remove excess water that collects in the sump basin, helping to keep your basement dry. When combined with other basement repairs, such as Water Lock™ and Exterior Water Management, sump pumps add an extra level of protection against moisture intrusion.
We treat our customers’ homes as we would treat our own, and we know there is nothing more comforting to a homeowner than peace of mind. That’s why we use state-of-the-art, submersible sump pump systems complete with a built-in secondary backup pump.
Submersible sump pumps feature a motor that is sealed inside the sump basin, hidden below water level. And the backup failsafe ensures reliable, worry-free operation at all times. Should your sump pump fail for any reason, the battery operated backup pump will kick into gear automatically – no user interaction required!
With Olshan’s submersible sump pump there’s no need to worry about a power outage during a big storm – you’re covered for up to 20 hours!
In addition, our sump pumps use a “top suction” method instead of the traditional bottom suction found in older models. This means our sump pumps are not vulnerable to air lock. It also reduces the amount of debris intake, allowing for a longer lifespan.
Gravity Drain – Water Discharge Alternative
Not every basement requires a sump pump. Depending on your home and landscape, sometimes a gravity fed drain makes the most sense.
This method utilizes gravity to discharge water from your home. To qualify, conditions call for an adequate slope away from the structure. This service often requires excavation from under the footer and exterior landscaping.
Installation includes:
- 1 Yr Workmanship Warranty
- 4” Corrugated or Solid Pipe
- Exterior Drainage
- Properly graded slope
- Pop-Up Drain Emitters
Note: Gravity Drain product & service may vary depending on repair plan configuration
