Sump Pump Installation Process Burbank

Here's How We Protect Your Basement

First, we assess your basement’s lowest point and determine the right sump pump system for your specific situation. Every basement is different, and cookie-cutter approaches don’t work when flooding hits.

Next, we install the sump basin and connect your new pump to a discharge system that moves water safely away from your foundation. We test everything thoroughly because there’s no room for error when storms arrive.

Finally, we walk you through how your system works and what to watch for. You’ll know exactly how your sump pump protects your basement and what regular maintenance looks like. No surprises, no guesswork.

Burbank Sump Pump System Options

The Right Pump For Your Home

Burbank homes need sump pumps that handle the area’s specific flooding challenges. Heavy spring rains, rapid snowmelt, and summer storms all create different water management demands.

Submersible pumps work best for homes that face frequent flooding. They’re more powerful, quieter, and built to handle sustained use during extended wet periods. Pedestal pumps cost less upfront and work well for homes with occasional water issues.

We also install battery backup systems for homes in areas prone to power outages during storms. When the electricity goes out, your basement protection stays on. That’s the difference between minor inconvenience and major disaster.

Sump pump installation in the Burbank area typically ranges from $800 to $2,500, depending on the type of pump and installation complexity. Submersible pumps cost more than pedestal pumps, but they’re also more powerful and durable. The final cost depends on factors like your basement’s current setup, the type of flooring we’re working with, and whether you need additional features like battery backup. We provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work. Most homeowners find that the installation cost is minimal compared to the thousands of dollars in potential water damage a good sump pump prevents.
Submersible sump pumps are usually the best choice for Burbank homes because they handle the area’s heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt more effectively. They’re sealed units that sit directly in the sump basin and can pump up to 60 gallons per minute. Pedestal pumps work well for homes with less frequent water issues. They’re less expensive and easier to maintain, but they’re not as powerful as submersible units. For homes in flood-prone areas or those that have experienced power outages during storms, we often recommend adding a battery backup system. This keeps your basement protected even when the electricity goes out during severe weather.
Most sump pump installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your basement’s current setup. If you already have a sump basin, the installation goes faster. If we need to create a new sump pit, especially in concrete floors, the process takes longer. We work efficiently because we understand that many installations happen during or right before storm season when time matters. Our trucks are fully stocked with the equipment and parts needed to complete most installations in a single visit. Same-day installation is available for emergency situations. When your current pump fails during a storm, we can often get a replacement installed and running within hours.
Battery backup systems are highly recommended for Burbank homes, especially if you’ve experienced power outages during storms. The worst flooding often happens during severe weather that also knocks out electricity. A battery backup automatically kicks in when your primary pump loses power, continuing to protect your basement until electricity returns. Most backup systems can run for several hours, which covers the duration of typical power outages. The added cost of battery backup is small compared to the protection it provides. Many of our customers say the peace of mind alone makes it worthwhile, knowing their basement stays protected regardless of power situations.
Sump pumps should be tested monthly and professionally inspected annually. Monthly testing involves pouring water into the sump basin to make sure the float switch activates the pump properly. Annual professional maintenance includes cleaning the pump and basin, checking all electrical connections, testing the backup system if you have one, and ensuring the discharge line isn’t blocked or frozen. We also recommend testing your system before storm season and after any extended period of non-use. Regular maintenance extends your pump’s lifespan and ensures it works when you need it most. Most pumps last 7-10 years with proper care.
If your sump pump fails during a storm, call us immediately for emergency service. We provide 24/7 response because we understand that pump failures happen at the worst possible times. Our emergency service includes rapid diagnosis of the problem, temporary solutions to minimize water damage, and same-day replacement when possible. We keep common pump models and parts in stock specifically for these situations. Time is critical during pump failures, so don’t wait to see if the problem resolves itself. The longer water sits in your basement, the more damage occurs and the more expensive cleanup becomes.
