Sump Pumps are the only way to get water out of a basement. We install Sump Pumps too. A French Drain or A Surface Drain Needs a Sump Pump when it is up hill in all directions from the drain. When water can’t flow downhill to the exit of a Channel Drain, a Sump Pump is needed.
Two Sizes of Sump Pumps
Pump Size refers to how powerful it is not how physically large it is. For Home or Small Business use a 1/3 Horse or a 1/2 Horse Works Best. Larger Pumps such as a 1 Horse Pump must be ordered by a supplier and must be Hard Wired to 220 voltage by an electrician.

Sump Pumps can also be used to pump water out of Basements or other enclosed low-lying areas. Most Residential applications require a sump pump that has a power rating of 1 horse to 2 horse. (Horse being horsepower)
Clean Water
A “Clean” pump must pump water that is relatively clean, or it will clog up after a while. ” Dirty” Pump can handle water that is not so clean that has small pieces of Debris in it. It will also clog if the debris is too thick or large. There are several techniques that Oklahoma Drainage uses to keep a sump pump “Clog Free” and running well.
One technique is to place the sump pump on top of a cement block inside the pump cavity. Debris and unwanted solids fall the bottom of the sump cavity and never goes through the sump. The sump cavity must then be cleaned out on a regular basis depending on the usual amount of debris. Once a Year is typical. Also putting a sump pump under a tree is a bad idea. Leaves will clog up a sump faster than anything. Pine needles are the worst.
