Well Pumps
There are two main types of pumps for general household use. First, submersible pumps, which are installed inside a well to pump water to the surface and then to a pressure tank. Second, jet pumps, which are installed above ground drawing water to the surface through a vacuum process. Jet pumps are typically only used in shallow wells and cistern applications. Below are two top-of-the-line pump brands we recommend using.

Sump Pumps
About Sump Pumps
A sump pump sits in the basement, either beneath (in the case of a submersible pump) or above the floor. It pumps out water that collects in the sump basin, discharging it to the outdoors.
Choosing a Sump Pump
If your water problem is serious (e.g., a high water table that gets higher when it rains), there’s no getting around it: you’re going to need a sump pump. Call us today for a free quote!
Tips for Choosing a New Sump Pump
1. Choose a submersible pump over a pedestal pump if your sump basin has space. Submersible pumps allow the sump pit to be covered with a lid, reducing pump noise and stopping debris from falling into the pit. An airtight lid also helps keep moist air from being released into your home.
2. Buy a pump with a cast iron core, not one made of plastic. Cast iron helps to dissipate heat to the surrounding water, lengthening the life of the pump.
3. To minimize the chance of clogs, the pump should have a no-screen intake design coupled with an impeller that can handle solids up to ½-inch in diameter.
4. The switch should be mechanical, not a pressure switch, and the float should be solid so it can’t become waterlogged, fail to switch off, and burn out the pump.
5. Choose one with an alarm to alert you when the water reaches a certain level.

Sewer Pumps
A sewage pump moves liquids and solids through a property’s sewage system, typically installed at the lowest point of the sewage basin. It pumps waste into the sewer system or septic tank. The pump uses centrifugal force to create pressure, pushing water and solids through the discharge pipe. This design reduces the risk of blockages, enhancing maintenance and reliability. At Pete's Pumps, we offer installation and maintenance of sewer pumps. Call us today for more information!
