Homes with all or part of their structure below ground level can benefit from having a sump pump, even if the basement, cellar, or crawl space isn’t usually prone to flooding. If your Dallas home has experienced low-level flooding or moisture problems, a sump pump is a must-have, as it protects your home’s foundation and overall structural integrity.
Willard Cooling, Heating, Plumbing, & Electrical offers sump pump installations and replacements, repairs, and maintenance for homes throughout the greater Dallas area.
While a sump pump’s typical life span is 10 to 15 years, regular maintenance and the occasional repair are sometimes needed. That’s when it’s time to give us a call.
How a Sump Pump Works
When excess water accumulates in the ground around your home’s basement, crawl space, or cellar, a sump pump moves it up and away from the foundation. Typically two feet deep and about 18 inches in diameter, a sump pump is placed in a pit dug at the lowest point of your house. It remains on standby until it’s needed, such as after heavy rain or a flooding situation in the house.
As the sump pump’s pit fills with water, a float switch or sensor turns on the pump, removing the water from the pit and draining it through a discharge pipe into a storm drain, creek, dry well, or other receptacle.
Sump Pump Installation & Replacement
A sump pump is essential for keeping your basement or crawl space dry during periods of rain and other flooding events. While installing a sump pump is possible for handy DIYers, it’s usually best to hire a professional plumbing company to install a new unit or replace an old or broken one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my sump pump break suddenly?
Several factors could lead to a broken sump pump. Clogs in the water line, disconnection from a power source, or general wear and tear can all cause issues that need to be resolved by a pro.
Do I really need a sump pump?
Depending on how often water accumulates beneath your home, a sump pump may be beneficial. If you regularly notice standing water in your crawl space or basement, a sump pump can remove the water quickly.
Do sump pumps use a lot of energy?
While sump pumps do use energy, they don’t run up your energy bills like other major appliances. A sump pump only needs to run when water is present, and the device is small, so it won’t need a lot of energy when in operation.
