Basement Drainage Pumps
Basement pumps control flooding in basements, which are prone to flooding because they are the lowest part of the house. Groundwater, surface water and river flooding can all cause basements to flood. Damage caused by wet basements or cellars that leak can be extremely costly, but basement drainage pumps can be used to control the flooding to protect the room and its contents.
Even with precautions like garden drainage and exterior sealing, water can still leak into your basement. As groundwater is often at a higher than a basement floor level, they are prone to flooding as they are not usually watertight. At Tanks Direct, we stock a wide range of basement pumps that are both reliable and hardwearing so that you can pump out the flood water before any damage is caused.

Basement Drainage Pumps FAQs
How long do basement drainage pumps last?
With good and regular maintenance, your basement pump should last for many years. There are several factors that will affect the longevity of your basement drainage pump. Regular and intense use will affect the lifespan of your basement pump, so if you have a below ground property with a high level of water ingress, your basement drainage pump is likely to be in a state of constant use. Like any machinery, the more it is in use the quicker its lifespan will decline. Equally, if your basement has been fitted with a pump that is too small, the pump will have to work much harder, shortening its lifespan. It’s also important that your basement drainage pump is installed correctly — if the motor doesn’t engage properly or the connection to the piping isn’t quite right, you could find that your pump works itself to an early grave. A lack of maintenance can also negatively affect the lifespan of your basement pump so keep a regular maintenance schedule to ensure your pump stays healthy.
Are basement drainage pumps different to sump pumps?
Sump pumps are the same as basement drainage pumps. They are used to remove water that has accumulated in a water-collecting basin and then pumped to the nearest drainage point. Sump pumps are commonly found in basements that are below ground level.
How does a basement sewer pump work?
A basement sewer pump usually needs to be installed then your sewer line level is below the main sewer system. The pump collects the wastewater from your basement bathroom or toilet into a tank and, when the sewer pump is turned on, the motor rotates creating a centrifugal force that pushes the wastewater into the impeller. It is then discharged into the main sewage network or a septic tank.
