Additionally, those with a basement below the water table or who live in regions with heavy rainfall should have a sump pump installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homes in Louisville, KY, may benefit from sump pumps due to the region&#8217;s high rainfall and potential for flooding. Louisville experiences frequent heavy rains and flash flooding, especially during the spring and summer. Sump pumps help to prevent water from seeping into basements or crawl spaces, which can cause water damage, mold growth, and other costly issues. Homeowners can protect their property from water damage by installing a sump pump and maintaining a dry, safe living environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preparing Your Home for a New Sump Pump System<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At Aqua Lock, we offer sump pump replacement and installation in Louisville, KY.

Sump pumps are typically installed below your basement floor or crawl space. When water builds up underneath your foundation it is moved to your sump basin and pumped out of the house to a designated area.<\/span> [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;What Kind of Sump Pump do I need?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>There are many types of Sump Pumps available today. The amount of water which needs to be moved is one of the primary factors in determining which the kind of pump is needed.<\/p>\n<p>Today there are many recommended types of Sump Pumps available including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Submersible Sump Pumps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2014 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These are designed to be placed directly in the sump pit and are fully submerged in water during operation. They are generally quieter and more discreet than pedestal sump pumps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Pedestal Sump Pumps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2014 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pedestal sump pumps have a motor that sits above the sump pit and a shaft that extends into the water. They are best suited for situations where space is limited or where the sump pit is shallow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Battery Backup Sump Pumps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2014 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Backup sump pumps are designed to provide emergency power in case of a power outage, ensuring that the pump can continue operating even when the main power source is cut off.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Water-Powered Sump Pumps<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2014 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Water-powered sump pumps are powered by the water pressure in your home\u2019s plumbing system. They do not require electricity or batteries, making them ideal for areas with unreliable power sources.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How Long Will MY Sump Pump Last?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]The life of your Sump Pump can depend on a few different factors. Typically Sump Pumps will last from 5 years to as long as 20 years or even more. The better question to ask might be: When should I replace my Sump Pump? It is a good idea to have your Sump Pump inspected a regular basis to make sure it doesn\u2019t fail and result in a serious flooding problem.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;When Should I Replace My Sump Pump? &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sump pump lifespans vary depending on factors like frequency of use, design, installation, maintenance, quality, and power source. It\u2019s best to schedule routine inspections with a professional to ensure your sump pump system doesn\u2019t fail. They can evaluate your sump pump and recommend a replacement if needed before you experience difficulties or a flood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Is a Sump Pump a Capital Improvement? &#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Kentucky, a sump pump may be considered a capital improvement if it is permanently affixed to the property and enhances its value or prolongs its useful life. However, whether a sump pump specifically qualifies as a capital improvement would depend on the specific circumstances and needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. It is recommended to consult with a legal or tax professional for specific guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/get-a-quote\/&#8221;
