How Sump Pumps Work (and Why They're Vital in Highlands)

A sump pump sits in a basin below the basement or crawlspace. When rising water fills the pit, the pump activates automatically and redirects water out of the home. For Highlands residents near Sandy Hook Bay or low-lying areas off Route 36, this is a critical system to keep basements and foundations safe during high tides and storms.

Signs Your Sump Pump Needs Repair

Don’t ignore these warning signs—flood damage can happen fast on the Jersey Shore:

  • □ Pump runs constantly, even without rain
  • ⚠️ Loud humming or vibrating sounds
  • □ Standing water or dampness in your basement
  • □️ Pump turns on but doesn’t discharge water
  • ⚡ Circuit frequently trips when pump runs
  • □ You smell mold or mildew near the pit

If you notice any of these signs, call 973-313-8183 for immediate service.

Submersible vs. Pedestal Pumps – Which One Is Best for Highlands?

Our experts will evaluate your basement layout, water table, and flooding history to recommend the right system:

  • Submersible Pumps: Quiet, efficient, and powerful—ideal for high flood zones and deep sump pits.
  • Pedestal Pumps: Less expensive, easier to service, but better suited to lower water volumes.

Backup Power: Essential in Highlands’ Storm Zones

Hurricanes, Nor’easters, and flash flooding are common in Highlands. If the power goes out and your pump shuts off, you’re vulnerable. That’s why we install:

  • Battery Backup Systems: Keep your pump running for hours during power loss.
  • Water-Powered Systems: Operates without batteries or electricity using city water pressure. Ideal for extended outages.
