Sump Pump Replacement Indianapolis


Sump Pump is the hidden hero of our homes. It does a lot for us and we don't even pay heed to it. Well if you have a sump pump installed at your premises then you already know that it is a heavy duty machine and needs regular maintenance to function as per its efficiency.

The sump pump is the device which keeps our homes dry. Especially if you are living in an area where it rains heavily and you have a basement in your home. A sump pump may also be a good idea if you live in an area where the water table is below your property altitude. Anyways we are not here to discuss the benefits of a sump pump but we are here to tell you how to replace one.

You would need the following to begin replacing your sump pump:


  • Screw Driver
  • Pliers

Do the following things once you have the required materials in hand. 


1. Remove the old pump

Unplug the sump pump and disconnect the discharge pipe entering it.

2. Remove the pump

Now carefully remove the pump. and clean the insides of the housing unit.

3.Level the new pump

Use the level to level the new pump. Be sure that the newpump is sitting perfectly in the housing unit. Use the required shims to level it if needed.

4.Connect the discharge line

We recommend using the new discharge line. However, if you feel that your older discharge line is working fine then you may use it also. Make sure that the check valve is working fine. A check valve will help keep your premises from getting flooded if things fail in the future.

Now connect the outlet pipe to the main discharge unit. Slipping all the rubber components in place.
