Types of Sump Pumps
There are two main types of sump pumps: submersible and pedestal. Submersible pumps operate quietly and offer more power, making them ideal for homes with frequent water issues. Pedestal pumps, on the other hand, are mounted above the sump pit, making them easier to access and maintain, though generally noisier
What to Consider ? . When choosing a sump pump, it's essential to factor in the size of your home and the depth of your basement. In the Bay Area, groundwater levels can vary, so understanding the water table is critical. Also, consider whether a battery backup is needed to keep your system running during outages, which are common during storms. Local Tip: Bay Area clay soils hold water longer, so a stronger pump with a proper discharge route is key
