A sump pump is a critical component of any basement or crawl space, helping to prevent groundwater buildup and protect against costly water damage.
Whether you’re looking to install a new sump pump system, replace an existing one, or ensure your current system is functioning optimally, Crystal Waters is here to help.
How Sump Pumps Work
- Water Collection: Water, typically from rain or groundwater, drains into the sump pit through a system of pipes or naturally seeps into the pit from the ground around the foundation.
- Activation: Inside the sump pit, there is a float or pressure sensor that monitors the water level. When the water reaches a certain height, the float rises or the sensor detects the change in pressure, signaling the sump pump to turn on.
- Pumping Water Out: Once activated, the pump uses an electric motor to power an impeller, which pushes the water out of the pit and through discharge pipes. The water is then directed away from the building, often to a drainage area, storm sewer, or dry well, ensuring that it doesn’t seep back into the foundation.
- Shutting Off: After the water level in the sump pit drops below the set threshold, the float or sensor signals the pump to shut off, awaiting the next time it’s needed.
Sump pumps are crucial in areas with high water tables or frequent heavy rainfall, helping to prevent basement flooding and
the resulting mould, mildew, and structural damage.

After getting 3 quotes Crystal was the best price, when everything was compared. The did the work extremely quickly with no issues and left my mechanical room cleaner than when they arrived. The communication and scheduling was great, we will definitely use them again in the future.
Thomas completed our job with total satisfaction. This job entailed changing out 2 outside lawn faucets and change out handle and cartridge for Delta shower valve.
I had my furnace replaced and an air conditioner installed by Crystal Waters. They had a great price and the service was clean and completed with perfection. They even connected my humidifier to the thermostat and fixed a broken bathroom fan duct at no extra cost!
Very happy with the job done. A lot of small things that were bothering us addressed very nicely. New hot water tank. The guys were on time, friendly, respectful, professional, clean. After dealing with a lot of ‘it is good enough’ contractors, this was a breath of fresh air. Recommend highly.
