Sump Pumps

Anchored Walls has been in the business of repairing and protecting foundations, basements, crawl spaces, concrete slabs, and sump pump installation services in the Des Moines area for over 40 years. One of the best ways to protect your home from water damage is with a sump pump. A sump pump is a cost-effective, proactive solution to remove excess water from your basement or crawl space and safely direct it away from your foundation. This system has been used since the mid 1940s to help homeowners in Des Moines prevent water damage and protect their homes from flooding and standing water. 

Types of Sump Pumps

The pump can either be freestanding or submerged in a sump pit, depending on the situation. A sump pump can be wired directly into your home’s electrical system or battery operated. A system of drains is installed to direct excess water to a floor drain and sewer, a dry well, or a lower spot far away from the house.

    Where Are Sump Pumps Installed?

    Basement:

    Your basement can be a beautiful area to expand your living space. It can be a great space for a game room, home office, or extra bedrooms. However, if it is wet and musty, it can not only be unpleasant, but it can harbor mold and mildew that can lead to respiratory illness. When water enters your basement, either through cracks in the foundation or from plumbing malfunctions, it can damage your home’s structure as well as destroy personal belongings. This is why sump pump installation services to your Des Moines home can be imperative.

    Crawl Space:

    The air from your crawl space can enter your living area. If mold and mildew are growing there, it can jeopardize indoor air quality, and water can puddle and compromise the structural integrity of your home by causing wood rot to support beams and floor joists.

    Why Should I Install a Sump Pump?

    A sump pump can prevent basement flooding and costly water damage to your home. Combined with other waterproofing measures, such as drainage systems, encapsulation, or dehumidifiers, our sump pump installation services in Des Moines offer an excellent, cost-effective way to protect the value of your home.
