Sump Pumps in Mount Vernon
Sump Pumps Services in Western Washington
A sump pump is your home’s first line of defense against groundwater flooding, silently protecting your basement or crawlspace from water damage. Our rainy seasons in the Pacific Northwest can saturate the ground, leading to high water tables. A properly functioning sump pump is critical for automatically pumping this excess water away from your foundation, keeping the lowest level of your home dry and preventing costly water damage and mold growth.
At Full Speed Plumbing, we provide dependable sump pump installation, maintenance, and repair services. You need your pump to work without fail when the water starts to rise, which is why we are committed to providing reliable solutions. Whether you need a new system installed or an urgent repair on your existing one, our team is ready to help. We offer 24/7 emergency service because we know that a failed pump during a storm is a true emergency that cannot wait.

Types of Sump Pumps: Submersible vs. Pedestal
When choosing a sump pump, you will find two main designs with distinct characteristics that suit different needs and preferences.
Submersible Pumps
As its name suggests, a submersible pump is a compact, water-tight unit that rests at the bottom of the sump pit, fully immersed in the water. This design makes it remarkably quiet during operation. The pit can also be covered with a sealed lid, further muffling sound and preventing debris from falling in and interfering with the pump's mechanism.
Pedestal Pumps
A pedestal pump features a long column that keeps the motor elevated high above the water line, while an intake hose reaches down into the pit. Although this design is more conspicuous and tends to be louder, it offers clear advantages in accessibility. With the motor out of the water, it is easier to inspect and service, which can contribute to a long operational life.
Does My Sump Pump Need a Battery Backup System?
A standard sump pump depends entirely on your home's electricity, creating a critical vulnerability. The most intense storms, when your pump is needed most, are also the most likely to cause a power outage. This paradox can leave your basement defenseless against rising water at the worst possible moment. A battery backup system is the solution to this problem.
This secondary system provides a redundant layer of protection. A smaller, battery-powered pump is installed right next to your primary one. This pump is connected to a powerful, deep-cycle battery that is kept fully charged by your electrical system. The instant a power failure occurs, the backup system activates automatically, taking over the job of pumping water out of the pit. It is an essential component for a truly comprehensive water management strategy.
