Garden Units

Sump Pumps Below Lincoln Park Garden Units

In a building with a garden apartment, the sump pump protects living space, not just storage. Pumps in these pits often run hard during spring rain. We test the pump, the float and the check valve, make sure the discharge goes to the right place and add a battery backup that takes over in an outage. A high-water alarm lets the residents below know right away if something goes wrong.

Pricing

What Affects the Price of Sump Pump Work

The pump size and type, a battery backup and an alarm are the main pieces. A new pit or discharge changes add more. We test and quote a flat price.
