Sump Pumps for Basements and Cellars
One of the most important aspects of a cavity drainage system is the basement sump pump system. It is designed to safely remove groundwater from subterranean spaces that has been collected from cavity drain membranes.

Basement sump pump systems
A basement sump pump system features a sump chamber and a sump pump. The basement sump chamber collects any water that drains from the cavity membranes via drainage channels. A submersible pump then moves the water along pipes to a suitable evacuation point. The pumps are fitted with one-way valves to stop water flowing back into the basement sump.
Our systems:
All of the sump pumps we stock are extremely efficient and reliable, having been rigorously tested and proven for long life performance.

We sell both single and dual pump basement sump pumps. The additional pump can deal with higher volumes of water and functions as a backup in case of failure or during maintenance.
High water alarms for basement sumps
High water alarms for your basement sumps ensure that your system is capable of dealing with large volumes of water no matter what the situation. The high water alarm from Newton and PPS AlertMaxx2 High Water Level Alarm are both suitable for all basement sump pumps. These easy to install battery-powered alarms alert you to high water levels within the sump chamber.
Installing Basement Sumps
Our basement sumps are back-filled with concrete to form part of the floor slab. An access cover is set over the sump for maintenance purposes. Most connections are designed for convenience with simple screw-on fittings. Adaptors are usually supplied with our sump pumps.

A basement sump and pump system must be regularly inspected and maintained as limescale and other deposits can limit the life of the pumps.
