Sump pumps are responsible for pumping excess ground water from a basement or crawlspace to the outside of the home. There are two types of standard sump pumps commonly used - pedestal pumps and a submersibles. Pedestal pumps are not meant to get wet. They stand upright with a motor a few feet above it. Submersible pumps are installed in the ground and work under water.

For those who have ever experienced a water back up in your basement, you know the amount of  cleaning involved and how much damage can be caused. A professionally installed quality sump pump is your best defense against this ever happening. A quality sump pump can prevent thousands of dollars of water damage to your home and personal property, lost time dealing with emergency clean-ups, the head aches associated with insurance claims, and a host of other unknowns.

The plumbers at Mattex Service Company are fully qualified to install, repair, or replace failed sump pumps and sewage ejection pumps, and to install emergency back-up sump systems that continue to operate even through the longest power outages.

Sump Pumps (Water Driven)

A water driven sump pump is a non-electric backup sump pump that uses your home’s water pressure to operate – no battery or electricity is needed. The Water Commander from Tane Corporation will pump, as needed, during power outages or primary sump pump failure. It will also work in tandem with your electrical sump pump if necessary in an extreme downpour. If you want maximum protection from water damage resulting from power outages or a failed main pump, Mattex Service Company highly recommends installing the Water Commander.
