Sump Pump Installation & Repair

PORTLAND OR – VANCOUVER WA

Sump pumps are a great appliance to have especially if you live in the Pacific Northwest where moisture and rainfall are common. They serve as a last line of defense when you’re working to prevent flooding. When the water reaches a certain level, the sump pump will automatically collect water and pump it away to a designated area. However, as with any appliance sump pumps require occasional maintenance and repairs to ensure they’re properly working. Otherwise, you may find yourself with a flooded property and thousands of dollars in damage. Fortunately, Clog Pro is here for you. We provide sump pump installation, sump pump repair, and sump pump replacement services in Portland OR and Vancouver WA.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are 2 main types of sump pumps you can use for your property.

• Pedestal sump pumps: in a pedestal sump pump, the motor sits on top of a pedestal with a hose that goes down into a sump reservoir. Because pedestal sump pumps don’t have as strong a motor as a submersible sump pump, these types of sump pumps work best where the chance of flooding is minimal.
• Submersible sump pumps: as its name suggests, submersible sump pumps are submerged, sitting inside a reservoir. They have stronger motors, so they work best where there is a greater chance of flooding. Submersible sump pumps aren’t susceptible to clogging as much as pedestal sump pumps are however, they do have a shorter lifespan.

While sump pump installation may appear to be a DIY job, we recommend you have it professionally installed by a skilled plumbing contractor that way you know your sump pump works properly and efficiently. It is, after all, working to protect one of your most valuable investments — your home or business.
