Safeguard Your Basement from Flooding with Expert Sump Pump Installation in Southeastern, Michigan

Basement flooding is every homeowner's worst nightmare. The extensive damage it can cause can lead to time-consuming, expensive repairs. Stop the problem in its tracks with our professional sump pump installation service. 


A sump pump is a submersible pump installed in a specially designed pit within your basement floor. The pit collects water seepage that naturally occurs around your foundation. The sump pump features a float switch that activates the pump when the water level in the pit rises to a certain point. 

Once activated, the pump discharges the collected water away from your home through a dedicated discharge pipe. Without a properly functioning sump pump, your basement is at risk of flooding during heavy rains, snowmelts, or plumbing leaks.


Our highly qualified and fully licensed plumbers install high-quality, reliable pumps from trusted brands. Our fool-proof installation technique prevents pump burnout, clogging, and other issues that could lead to system failure. We adhere to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the electrical connections to ensure full compliance.

The Multifaceted Benefits of Sump Pump Installation

Here are five key advantages of sump pump installation: 

Safeguards Foundation Integrity

Your home's foundation is constantly exposed to hydrostatic pressure, which is the force exerted by groundwater pushing against the foundation walls. During heavy rain, this pressure can significantly increase. A sump pump helps alleviate this pressure by removing excess water that accumulates around the foundation, preventing cracks and leaks that could compromise the structural integrity of your basement walls and floor.

Combats Moisture and Humidity Control

Basements are naturally prone to higher humidity levels due to their location below grade. Excess moisture creates a breeding ground for mold growth, which can lead to respiratory problems and property damage. Sump pumps actively remove this moisture by discharging collected water away from the basement.

Protects Against Groundwater Intrusion

In areas with high water tables or during heavy rainfall, groundwater can seep into basements. Sump pumps efficiently collect and pump out this water, keeping your basement dry and reducing the risk of mold growth and structural issues.

Prevents Sewer Backups

In some cases, heavy rain or clogged sewer lines can cause wastewater to back up into your basement drains. A sump pump with a battery backup system can help prevent this by discharging any incoming water before it overflows the drain and floods your basement.

Reduces Radon Gas Infiltration

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into your home through cracks in the foundation. While basements are particularly susceptible to radon gas infiltration, a properly installed radon sump pump can help mitigate this risk. This advanced sump pump pit acts as a collection point for radon gas, and the discharge pipe can be vented to the exterior of your home, which leads to the safe expulsion of radon gas.

FAQ's

  • What are the signs my sump pump is about to fail?

    Common warning signs include strange noises, constant running, irregular cycling, and water pooling around the sump pit. Many homeowners overlook early indicators like a vibrating motor or a musty smell from the basement. In Southeastern Michigan’s wet seasons, these issues can quickly turn into flooding emergencies. Regular inspections help catch these signs early and can prevent thousands in water damage.

  • How long does a professionally installed sump pump typically last?

    A quality sump pump installed by professionals like Ready Jetter Plumbing typically lasts 7 to 10 years, depending on use and maintenance. Cheaper DIY or poorly installed systems often fail within 3–5 years. Investing in proper installation ensures reliable operation during heavy rain and snowmelt — critical in areas like Macomb County that see regular seasonal moisture.

  • Can a sump pump be installed in any basement or crawl space?

    Almost all basements and crawl spaces can accommodate a sump pump, but the specifics depend on your home’s drainage system, layout, and water table. Our team assesses the structure to determine the best pump type and placement for maximum efficiency, especially in older Michigan homes with foundation quirks.

  • What are the most common mistakes people make with sump pump installation?

    DIY installations often fail due to incorrect pit placement, poor drainage planning, undersized pumps, or lack of backup power. These mistakes reduce efficiency and can lead to complete failure when you need the system most. Ready Jetter Plumbing ensures your pump is properly sized, installed to code, and designed for Michigan’s climate.

  • Do I need a battery backup sump pump system?

    Yes, especially in Michigan where storms can knock out power while flooding occurs. A battery backup keeps your sump pump working during outages, providing crucial protection. It’s one of the most overlooked features, but one that can make the difference between a dry basement and extensive flood damage.

  • Why is my sump pump constantly running, even in dry weather?

    A constantly running sump pump could signal a stuck float switch, an improperly sized pump, or a drainage issue. It may also indicate an unusually high water table. Continuous operation increases wear and risks early failure. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and implement a long-term fix.

  • What maintenance does a sump pump system require?

    Regular maintenance includes cleaning the pit, checking the float switch, testing the check valve, and ensuring the discharge line isn’t clogged or frozen. We recommend semi-annual inspections, especially before spring thaw and during the rainy season in Michigan. Ready Jetter offers service plans to keep your system in top shape.

  • Will a sump pump installation increase my home’s value?

    Yes. A professionally installed sump pump can enhance property value by preventing water damage and mold, which are red flags to buyers. It also signals that the home has been properly cared for — a big plus in competitive real estate markets like Macomb County.

  • How disruptive is the sump pump installation process?


  • What’s the difference between a pedestal and submersible sump pump?

    Submersible pumps sit in the sump pit and are quieter and more efficient, making them ideal for finished basements. Pedestal pumps are louder but easier to service and often used in unfinished basements. We recommend the best option based on your basement’s setup, water exposure, and budget.
