Sump Pumps
Protect your Home and Your Valuables with a Water Sump Pump from John W. Danforth Company
A homeowner’s nightmare. Walking down to the basement to find everything under water. What a mess! A flooded basement can be very costly. For many homeowners, an important line of defense against water in the basement is a basement pump. A quality water sump pump that’s been well-maintained can save you thousands of dollars by reliably protecting your home and belongings from water damage.
Whether you are looking to replace, repair, or purchase and install a new sump pump, Danforth has the solution for you!
The two basic basement pump models are the upright (pedestal) and the submersible. Either will work well with proper maintenance.
Either type of basement pump should have a check valve on the water outlet pipe so water doesn’t flow back into the sump when the pump shuts off. Water flowing back and forth can cause the pump to turn on more frequently than necessary and decrease the life of the pump.
In the event of a power outage, we recommend a Backup Sump Pump.
