Sump Basins and Pits
Reliable Sump Basins and Pits for Interior Waterproofing Systems
A sump pump system is only effective when paired with a properly installed sump basin and pit. At Matthews Wall Anchor & Waterproofing Services, we provide professional installation of sump pits and basins as part of our interior waterproofing solutions for homes in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
A high-quality sump pit collects water from interior drainage systems and directs it to your sump pump for discharge, helping protect your basement from seepage, moisture buildup, and groundwater intrusion. Our team installs durable, appropriately sized sump basins that integrate with your overall water-management system to keep your basement dry and protected year-round.
Signs You Need a New Sump Basin or Pit
A failing, outdated, or improperly installed sump pit can compromise the performance of your sump pump and waterproofing system. You may need a new sump basin or pit if you notice:
- Standing water or dampness around your sump pump
- Your sump pump cycling frequently or struggling to keep up
- A sump pit that is too shallow, too small, or uncovered
- A cracked, clogged, or deteriorating sump basin
- Persistent basement moisture despite having a sump pump
- Mold, mildew, or musty odors coming from the pump area
- Water pooling in your basement after heavy rainfall
- Loud or vibrating sump pump operation
- A sump pump sitting in a simple hole rather than a proper pit
These issues often indicate that your sump basin is inadequate or failing to collect groundwater effectively.
