Keep Your Crawl Space Dry with a Sump Pump
A crawl space sump pump could be a necessary step in your crawl space repair process. What are the benefits of a crawl space sump pump?
Crawl Space Repair Solutions: Sump Pump
A vital part of a sealed crawl space is a reliable sump pump system. Without one, your crawl space will still be vulnerable to groundwater, as well as unnoticed plumbing leaks.
A sump pump will make it much easier for you to remove water from the crawl space, no matter how it enters. That’s why you need to install your crawl space sump pump early in the process.
Custom-Designed Crawl Space Sump Pump
Crawl spaces often remain wet for days, weeks, and even months without the homeowner realizing there’s a water problem. With the AquaStop Sump Pump System, you have the comfort of knowing you’re protected.
Along with two cast-iron/cast aluminum Pro Series Sump Pumps, your system can be customized to includes a floor drain to collect water from plumbing leaks, an AquaStop® Water Alarm System to notify you of water in the crawl space, and a Power Pack Back-up Pump that can pump 13,875 gallons of water on a single charge for maximum protection.
The AquaStop™ Sump Pump System is fully compatible with our complete crawl space vapor barrier system because of its unique lid. If you have no groundwater concerns, but would still like to be protected from plumbing leaks, you may also want to consider our crawl space drain system.
Understanding How Sump Pumps Work
One of the first things that many people wonder about sump pumps is how they work. Even if you already have a crawl space sump pump, you might not know how it works. Understanding this is crucial if you want to fully understand your home’s crawl space.
- The Mechanics
A sump pump takes in water, then pumps it out to an external drainage system. You can install a sump pump in your crawl space or your basement. The drainage system goes outside, distributing the water back out in a way that encourages it not to accumulate around the home.
The exact ways in which the device pumps the water out varies depending on the type of machine you have. For the most part, it’ll use a mechanical approach of pumping out water, which means the device will typically plug into the wall, often with a battery backup in case of a power outage. All you need to know is that it pumps water out of the space.
- Reasons to Invest in a Sump Pump
There are many reasons that most people will tell you to invest in a sump pump. The sump pump makes it easy for you to stop worrying about water accumulation in your crawl space. Standing water is never a good thing and a sump pump effectively removes that problem.
Most crawl spaces can benefit from this machine, as can any basements. The exact sump pump you choose may vary depending on the size of the crawl space or basement, as well as the regularity with which you’ll likely run the pump. An expert will be able to help you choose the perfect model.

We hired FSM Grand Rapids to spray foam insulate our crawl space and install a dehumidifier to help with the dampness in that area. All four workers, Jalen, DeShawn, Reggie, and Jamont were very helpful, friendly and professional. The crawl space looks so much better than it did and we are happy that it is sealed off from the cold weather. I would highly recommend FSM Grand Rapids for any of your foundation work!

Len, Jose, and Craig did a basement repair for us the day after Snowpocalypse 2025. The job was originally slated to take two days. I'm frankly amazed at what they pulled off. First of all, they showed up bright and early at 7:30a. Then they did a great job in running plastic to keep the floors clean and separate off the rest of the house from the dust. They had to work around a very inconveniently placed sewer pipe, and managed it with no issues. Additionally, Len ran almost 100' of trench under a fence in a foot of snow when it was 20 degrees outside…and he was upbeat and happy to do it. They were done with the entire job, including inspection, in less than 7 hours. A lot of folks talk about "kids these days," but these three young men did a fantastic job with great attitudes in a horrible environment. I cannot recommend this crew highly enough.

It’s been some time since I got Indiana Foundation to come out and look at my crawl space and give me an estimate. I used to have so much water in my crawl space some summers I had frogs in there. My sump pumps all burned out and nothing I put in kept up with the water to pump out. Matt came out and did my estimate and laid all out on the table how bad it was down there. It had rotted out the floor in my main bathroom and even under my furnace. His guys came out and put inna new floor in my bathroom, pumped out 16 inches of water before they could even start working, and work they did. They worked into the nights, on weekend, and did a fantastic job and saved the foundation of my house. They just came out for an annual check if everything is working and it is. I am so glad to hear one of the 3 pumps, they created on their own and cooled by water pumped so they won’t burn out, when it pours rain. Thank you Matt and your entire crew. What a great job!!!

Mount Valley Foundation did a wonderful job on our crawl space. From the beginning, Clint was very easy to understand & gave us affordable options. The encapsulation only took 3 days & the crew finished up the third evening at 7:00 pm, just in time before Helene came. Our home usually would have flooded during a storm like this, but with Mount Valleys installation of the draining pipes, the water was pumped out successfully. The crew that did the installation was wonderful as well, thank you to Donovan Rougeaux, Isaiah Davis, & Cory Phillips for the quick installation.

I had the unfortunate experience of finding water in my finished basement. I contacted Groundwork’s and AJ presented me with a solution. He and his team scheduled a repair date and got to work on it. I’m completely satisfied with their work and in my dealings with them, and would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation. They went above and beyond and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Also, a shoutout to James, Paul and Tyler, who did the installation. Great job guys, thank you.

We are very pleased with the work Wyatt, Quevin, and Tucker did improving our crawl space. The estimate was for 3 days of work but they stayed late and finished it in 2. They replaced the old thin damaged black plastic vapor barrier with a new high-quality one, added wall insulation above the foundation, and installed a drainage system to keep the area dry. The team was professional, hard-working, knowledgeable, friendly, and courteous. Highly recommended.

I called Groundworks to upgrade the sump system in my basement. Jim Beatty came out to give me an estimate. He gave my house a thorough look and then provided me with a solution. He was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The install team came out about a week or so later to install the new system. Nasir was the crew leader and had 2 co workers with him, but I don’t remember there names. I was extremely impressed by their work ethic. These guys came in and didn’t stop until the job was done. They were very professional, courteous and hard working. They did a fantastic job and left the job site cleaner than how they found it. You can’t go wrong with Nasir and his 2 co workers. As I said I was truly impressed with everything they did. They represented Groundworks with the highest professionalism. Thanks for doing a great job.

The Professionalism of GROUNDWORKS is Impeccable 👌 This company lends an ear when you seek their services. When I scheduled an Appt I knew who was coming out, the date and time and I received confirmation while I was talking to the receptionist. The Foundation Professional was Codi M. When he arrived he was prompt professional and very understanding. He asked us to show him in and around the house 🏠 what we felt was the "possible foundation issue" . This is very important to us Seniors. He was very pleasant and showed concern. Then he explained how their process works and what he does and he went straight to work. He used laser applications and tape and computer. He started in the house, then went outside the house, then he went under the house in the crawl space. He took pictures. Then the "verdict". He explained all his findings and told us what the cost would be if we decide to go with them. No pressure just straight forward. We were very pleased with the honesty and the professionalism of Codi M. With that being said, Of course we chose this company they absolutely made our home a priority and we highly recommend them if you are considering foundation solutions that work.

Joe was professional and thorough in his inspection of my foundation and concrete walkway. He called ahead of time to provide exact arrival time and did a great job explaining the potential issues with cracks in my foundation and stucco. He also gave me honest feedback on the uneven walkway which was due to an olive tree nearby. I would definitely call Groundworks again for any foundation issues that may arise with my home.

We have had interesting driveway that had become a tripping hazard. Aaron and Zach from FSS inserted foam, raised portions of our driveway, and we're no longer tripping! Everything looks great with new sealing. Don't wait until things get out of hand! Aaron and Zach answered all of my questions. Great experience!

Josh called on his way to the house got here at the earliest time in the window of time given to us by the company that he would arrive. Came right in was very pleasant knowledgeable and got to the route of the problem. Not only did he fix the seal on the leaking toilet but also noticed a bigger problem and called a water remediation company while at our house to come out right away to access and potentially remediate any problems we have with that! Very professional and helpful and quite concerned about doing the right thing! We couldn’t be more satisfied!

I can't say enough good things about Jim Rivera at Bay Area Underpinning! From the moment we connected, Jim was the epitome of professionalism and friendliness.

He handled everything quickly, yet without missing a single detail. It was clear that he takes great pride in his work, and the results speak for themselves.

I’m ecstatic to have the burden of a wet basement lifted. The whole process of meeting with Jared, coming up with a plan and getting it done was seamless. I had a disaster of a basement and he made me feel comfortable about how it could be made much better. He is a master problem solver and just what I needed. The crew of Lee, Camryn and Joshua finished the job today. I was amazed at how quickly the whole process took. They were professional yet kind and personable. There were lots of smiles so I think they really like their job. They answered all my questions and left the space much, much better than they found it. I am so grateful. I cannot say enough about this team and I highly recommend.

Was able to talk with the lead and was able to answer all questions. Taylor and his team Ei, Brennan, and Ke'saun (sorry if I didnt get the names right) were great and chatted with them whenever. They got the job done in two days and even went through the getting things done at night. They advise me on what to expect and what to check and even gave a tour under our crawl space. Was a great investment for the encapsulation with these gentlemen.

What Can a Sump Pump Do to Help with Crawl Space Water?
The good news is that a sump pump can help you with crawl space water problems. Here are the different ways in which a sump pump can make your crawl space safer and healthier.
- Pump Out Floodwater
If floodwater does get into your crawl space, you need some way to get it out. As a matter of fact, in some areas that are prone to flooding, flood vents are encouraged, as they allow water to flow through your crawl space rather than build up significant amounts of force by battering against your crawl space walls.
However, if you’re going to have flood vents, you also need some way to make sure the floodwater leaves your crawl space once the flood is over. Otherwise, you’re just going to have standing water in your crawl space all the time. A sump pump is one of the best ways to make sure floodwater doesn’t stay in the crawl space.
- Help with Unexpected Leaks
Unexpected leaks are something you should try to make as expected as possible. Essentially, while you may never know when these leaks will occur, you should expect to have internal leaks at some point. That means installing a sump pump to help you with the water when internal leaks occur.
Internal leaks can be frustrating enough to deal with on their own. You don’t also want to have to worry about where the water from that internal leak will go. When you have a sump pump as a backup, you’ll be able to worry about the other elements of an internal and unexpected leak rather than having to worry about removing the water.
FAQs About a Crawl Space Sump Pump
Because a sump pump will pump water out of your crawl space, you might wonder whether it can fix your waterproofing problems. Remember, a crawl space sump pump is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Because it removes standing water, it can help you avoid waterlogging and other moisture problems. Standing water of any type in your crawl space, even if it’s only a little bit, can be extremely detrimental. You need to make sure that you’re removing that standing water as quickly as possible.
Most importantly, you should remember that a sump pump is a valuable part of fixing certain waterproofing elements, but not all of them. If you’re having regular issues with standing water in your crawl space, a sump pump can help resolve the symptoms but should be paired with other measures. For example, an interior drain will often be able to connect directly to the sump pump, allowing you to drain water off more effectively. With these two things combined, you can tackle many waterproofing concerns.
Crawl space encapsulation should be something you pursue, especially if you’re experiencing chronic issues with standing water or if you have a dirt crawl space. However, you can’t assume that putting down a crawl space vapor barrier will fix your problems well enough to avoid adding a sump pump.
You’ll likely want to lay down a crawl space vapor barrier, add crawl space vent covers if you have open crawl space vents, and possibly include a crawl space dehumidifier. Additionally, for many crawl spaces, a sump pump is one of the elements of encapsulation. With a sump pump, you’ll be able to pump out water no matter how it gets into the area. Even with encapsulation, there are still many ways water can get into the crawl space, and a sump pump protects against that. You can’t just choose one or the other. You’ll likely choose both.
If you’ve started to look into a crawl space sump pump, you might wonder whether you could DIY the installation process. Sadly, buying, setting up, and placing a sump pump is rather complicated. When you try to DIY the process, you’ll notice one crucial problem pretty quickly: you don’t have a lot of experience with this. That means there are many places for you to mess up, which you’ll discover very quickly.
If you’re looking to add a crawl space sump pump into your crawl space or you want to upgrade your current model, your best bet is to talk to a Groundworks crawl space repair expert. They’ll be able to do an inspection, look at what’s going on in your crawl space, and recommend a solution. That’s a hands-on way to fix the problem.
