Crawl Space Sump Pump
Crawl spaces are below grade, making them susceptible to water seepage and flooding. That’s why a crawl space sump pump is indispensable in preventing standing water in your crawl space.
What is a crawl space sump pump?
A sump pump is a device that is installed in the lowest point of a crawlspace to remove water that collects in a sump basin.
The basin is like a bucket with holes drilled into it and is situated at the end of French drain lines.
How are sump pumps installed?
- A hole is dug at the lowest point of the crawlspace at the end of French drainage lines.
- The sump pump basin is inserted.
- The basin is surrounded with gravel.
- A submersible pump is installed into the basin.
- A discharge pipe is installed through the foundation wall and ends at least 20 feet from the home.
- The power is connected and tested.
What are the benefits of a sump pump?
A crawl space sump pump prevents water from pooling in your crawlspace, so having one decreases the risk of mold, erosion, and wood rot.
What is the warranty on a sump pump?
Dry Otter Waterproofing offers a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty on sump pumps that we install.
How much maintenance does a sump pump require?
What is a battery backup sump pump?
A battery-powered backup sump pump will work even when the power goes out. It can pump up to 10,000 gallons of water. The battery provides peace of mind in storms and when you’re away.
What Our Customers Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 298 reviews Roy Fukata2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second job call from Dry Otter, I had an enclosed extension built over our basement entrance, being an old home with poor grade design, water leakage was rampant. On phase 1, I had the whole works done inside basement, crawl space, drainage, dehumidifier, sump-pump and now for phase 2, I have the tract system put in place. Although it hasn't rained after the tract system placed, I have confidence that my water leakages will be solved.

Everything went exceptionally well.. Everyone was very nice and friendly from the very beginning... This includes Mike who came and gave us an estimate to William, Josh and Luis who came and did the work. Plus getting a lifetime warranty only added to the experience.. I would greatly recommend Dry Otter for any waterproofing needs... Laurie Denny2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The boys worked very hard you guys should be very proud of them. I highly recommend you guys. Thank you. Jeff S2025-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really appreciated the thorough inspection and common sense approach Michael provided. He has a good depth of knowledge from being a Realtor and home inspector. The job at our house ended up being small enough that we are going the do-it-yourself route this time. I would definitely consider Dry Otter Waterproofing if I have a larger project in the future.
