• DIY Installations  

If you are a DIYer, you might wonder whether you can just install your sump pump on your own. However, it’s important to remember that installing a sump pump isn’t as easy as just purchasing a sump pump and putting it down in the crawl space. There are many steps to sump pump installation that may require some technical knowledge.  

First and foremost, you will need to excavate a space for the sump pit. More than that it may be necessary to grade your crawl space floor to ensure that moisture is properly funneled towards your newly installed sump pump. If you do any of this incorrectly, it could have a huge effect on your home over time.
