Sump Pump Repair & Installation Services in Olympia, Washington

A clean and dry basement or crawl space is important for maintaining the integrity of your home and its foundation. Water in your basement or crawl space can compromise your home’s foundation, as well as create a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and wood rot. A properly functioning sump pump is a critical line of defense against water damage caused by heavy rain, foundation leaks, or high groundwater levels.

Black Hills provides expert sump pump repair, replacement, maintenance, and installation services in Olympia and Western Washington.

Why Is a Sump Pump Important?

Basements and crawl spaces are susceptible to moisture problems, especially in rainy climates like Western Washington and Olympia.

A sump pump is a submersible pump installed in the lowest point of your basement. It collects water that seeps through the foundation or crawl space floor and pumps it away from your home, preventing flooding and potential damage.

Proper Sump Pump Placement

The location of your sump pump is critical to ensure it can pump all the water out of your home’s foundation. Black Hills will ensure your sump pump is placed at the lowest point of your basement floor, where water will naturally collect. 

We will also consider the proximity to the discharge line and the location of the electrical outlet for the power supply. Power should always be connected with a GFCI outlet because moisture is a hazard when working in a basement or crawl space. 

Back-Up Sump Pump & Auxiliary Power

Sump pumps are normally very reliable, but the one time they fail is the one time your basement floods. We recommend a backup sump pump along with backup auxiliary battery power in the event that your electricity goes out during a major thunderstorm.
