Why Do You Need a Sump Pump in Your Home?

A sump pump is an essential tool for protecting your home from flooding and water damage. Typically installed in the basement or lowest point of your property, a sump pump removes water that accumulates in a sump basin or pit. This helps manage surface runoff and recharge underground aquifers while keeping your basement dry.

According to the American Society of Home Inspectors, nearly 60% of American homes experience moisture in the basement, with many facing full-blown flooding. A sump pump can prevent costly water damage, reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, and safeguard your home’s structural integrity. By keeping your basement dry, a sump pump also helps avoid health issues caused by mold-related respiratory problems.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are various types of sump pumps to suit different needs. At Atherton Plumbing, we offer expert guidance to help you choose the right solution for your home:

Primary Sump Pumps

  • Submersible Sump Pumps: Installed underwater in the sump basin, these pumps efficiently handle debris without clogging. They last 5–15 years and are ideal for homes with high water volumes.
  • Pedestal Sump Pumps: These pumps have motors mounted above the basin, making them easier to repair. While less expensive and longer-lasting (25–30 years), they may not handle debris as effectively.

Backup Sump Pumps

  • Battery Backup Pumps: These pumps activate during power outages to keep your basement dry. Powered by batteries, they offer an extra layer of protection when primary pumps fail.
  • Water-Powered Backup Pumps: Operating without batteries, these pumps use water pressure to function during power outages, providing a reliable and automatic backup solution.

Combination Sump Pumps

  • These systems combine a primary pump with a battery backup for comprehensive protection, giving you peace of mind during storms or power outages.

Sewage Sump Pumps

  • Used to pump effluent sewage waste from your home into the sewer system, these pumps are essential for homes with basements or septic systems.

Common Sump Pump Problems

Sump pumps are vital for flood prevention, but like any mechanical system, they can experience issues over time. Common problems include:

  • Old or Worn-Out Pumps: Over time, sump pumps lose efficiency and may require replacement.
  • Frozen Discharge Pipes: Harsh winter weather can freeze discharge pipes, preventing proper water drainage.
  • Overwhelmed Pumps: In heavy rains or high water volumes, an undersized pump may struggle to keep up.
  • Power Failures: Without a backup system, power outages leave your home vulnerable to flooding.
  • Stuck Switches: Mechanical failures, such as stuck switches, can stop the pump from operating when needed.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, contact Atherton Plumbing for expert repair and replacement services.

Placed the service call to have my pedestal sink leak resolved. While Luke was here, I had him hook up the Omigo seat and replace the strainers in my sink with ones that fit properly. I spent more than I had anticipated but I'm super happy to have these issues resolved. BTW Luke was clear about the pricing so there were no suprises. Been a long time happy and loyal Atherton customer as they redid most of the plumbing in 2022.

Had to have a toilet replaced. Excellent and quick service- they were at my house in a few hours to provide a detailed estimate, and the next day to install. Did not try to push me into a getting a new toilet. Instead, they walked me through and provided a bid for my 3 options so I could make an informed decision. High quality materials (I did a comparison of product at big box stores) were used. Would definitely recommend to friends and neighbors. Macen and Dillion were great! EDIT- needed a kitchen drain unclogged and called Atherton again. Ryan showed up and took care of it. He did not try to oversell me on something he assessed that I probably didn’t need given my issue, which is key for me. He explained what he would be doing and also took the time to explain that it is usually dish soap that causes sludge build up over time and to use a vinegar water solution every so often to break down the soap residue. 90 day guarantee- so if the drain clog comes back within that time, it will be taken care of. Will continue to use Atherton again for any future needs.

Had a great experience. Were we given a time of 12:00pm-3:00pm. A little after 11:00am Jason called asking if I would like him to arrive earlier as he was available or at the 12:00 window given. I happily took the earlier time. Jason even gave me an estimate time of his new arrival. With the inspection, cost estimate was given with clear explanation of what was needed and the options. Jason quickly fixed the issue and ensured all work fixed the issue we were having. Understanding of my still working from home, he was quite yet efficient. Thank you for being so great Jason!

I had them come over and cut out 2 abandoned gas pipes from my home. Tech was good, job done quickly. Im not any type of plumber, so I can't comment too much on pricing, but I was expecting to pay closer to $500 to cut 2 pipes and cap them, but it was $900. It was good work, I was just surprised it cost so much.

Water heater pilot went out after my basement flooded. Tried lighting it multiple times with no effect. Went a couple of weeks without hot water. Tech came out turned the gas on and it lit after a few attempts. Gave it 30 minutes and checked my water pressure and quality in the interim. High pressure and hard water, gave me some suggestions and a quote but didn't press.

We needed the main stack of our over 60 year old system replaced as well as a leaking copper drain line. Atherton sent a technician out promptly and the work was done in a timely manner by Nathan. The system was tested after installation and Nathan explained the work that was done and showed us what had been replaced. Nathan answered my questions to my satisfaction.

We had service on 5/28/26. Luke installed a shutoff valve on the water line to the fridge. This was done in preparation of receiving a new fridge the following week. Luke did a great job, re-working the line and attaching the valve to the wall, and fastening it for easy install of new line from the new fridge. Thanks for your ingenuity and explaination of the process.

If it were possible to give 10 stars, JASON MAXWELL of Atherton Plumbing would be the recipient.I had a major leak from an old water heater. I panicked and my first thought was of Jason who had come out on another emergency about four years ago.. He worked diligently until he solved the problem. I am so grateful that he was available when I called . He came the same day, assessed the situation, gave me a quote, helped with paperwork and proceeded to get the job done within three hours of his arrival. Jason is the ultimate professional, Very detailed, courteous,arrived on time, removed the old water heater, installed the new one, placed everything back as it was.. If you are ever in need of a plumber, you will never go wrong with Jason. I highly recommend JASON MAXWELL and ATHERTON PLUMBING..

We contracted with Atherton for installation of a Kraus double kitchen sink, Moen faucet, and Insinkerator disposal. George Strietz was the technician who performed the installation. He is a very experienced, highly skilled plumber who did an amazing job! He removed the old units, installed new drain traps, replaced old chrome/galvanized fittings with PVC, and installed the new units. Everything was done meticulously! When he was finished he cleaned everything up and took away the old units and boxes. We are so pleased with the entire process. His estimate was timely, price was reasonable, scheduling was perfect. We highly recommend Atherton and will certainly call them for any future plumbing issues.
