What is the typical size of a sump pump system?

The size of the sump basin is crucial when installing a sump pump system. Most basins are 18-25 gallons, but a larger basin allows the pump to run less frequently, increasing its longevity. The basin should be at least 24 inches deep and 18 inches wide to provide adequate space for the pump and water collection.

To determine the appropriate pump size, consider factors such as the square footage and depth of your basement, and the water flow rate. A professional plumber or contractor can help determine the right size for your specific needs.

Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of your sump pump system. This includes cleaning the pump, testing the float switch, and checking for leaks.
