SUMP PUMP

Sump Pump Service

Sump pumps are useful systems to avoid flooding and sewage problems. They keep ground level areas dry and free from dampness and mold growth, as well as provide peace of mind for your property. HomeMeister LLC specializes in sump pumps in the greater Kansas City area to keep home and business owners’ problem free year-round.

If your home or business takes on water when snow melts or heavy rains arrive, a sump pump is ideal. 

Sewage sump pumps are useful when you are on a septic system or need to pump sewage from the property uphill or long distances to city wastewater systems. 

Sump Pump Benefits 

• Prevent flooding – Sump pumps keep low level areas of homes and businesses free from flood waters and dampness. They can save costly repairs and structural damage. 

• Reduce Mold – Mold only needs a little bit of moisture and food source, such as wood, paper, and glue, to grow and thrive. Toxic mold can cause health issues, such as respiratory failure. 

Types of Sump Pumps 

• Pedestal – Pedestal sump pumps are installed so that the motor of the pump is located above the sump basin itself. This type of pump is ideal for installation in a sump basin or pit that is either shallow or narrow.

• Submersible – Submersible sump pumps are installed entirely in the sump basin. The submersion of the sump pump means that it works more efficiently and quieter but is not as accessible for maintenance. 

• Grinder Pumps – Grinder pumps have blades to liquify sewage before moving it to the wastewater drains. They can handle tougher solids, and although they move less volume, it can be moved for longer distances. 
• Ejector Pumps – Ejector pumps have a spinner intake and use pressure to move solids. Ejector pumps are required for use in conjunction with septic tanks and can move a heavy volume in short distances.
