Ridgid Sump Pump Installation: The Ridgid one HP Stainless Steel Dual Suction Sump Pump is a great choice for your home's basement. It has plenty of power to keep your basement dry and the construction is durable enough to last for years. To install the pump, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. The first thing to do is locate your sump pit. Your pit should be at least 22 inches deep. This will give you enough room to fit the base of the pump and the discharge pipe.
If your home is prone to flooding or water leakage in the basement or crawl space, or if you live in an area with high water table, a sump pump may be necessary to protect your home from water damage.
There are two main types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. A pedestal sump pump sits above the sump pit and uses a long shaft to connect to the impeller, while a submersible sump pump sits in the sump pit and the motor is sealed to protect it from water damage.
Installing a sump pump can be a complex and potentially dangerous task, so it is recommended to hire a professional plumber or contractor to ensure proper installation.
