Halco Home Solutions provides professional sump pump installation for homeowners throughout the Finger Lakes. Sump pumps play a critical role in managing water in basements and crawl spaces, especially in homes with recurring issues or interior drainage systems.
Homeowners in Ithaca, Phelps, Rochester, and the surrounding areas need a reliable way to get water out of their basements when conditions are at their worst, and our answer is, “Yes, we do that!” With more than 40 years of experience, Halco installs sump pump systems designed for the real conditions found in Finger Lakes homes.
Schedule An Assessment With HalcoWhen a Sump Pump Is Needed for Your Home
Sump pumps are commonly installed when groundwater collects around a foundation or beneath a basement floor. They are often part of a broader basement waterproofing system, but they can also be installed on their own when water issues are localized.
You may benefit from a sump pump if your home has:
- Recurring basement water after heavy rain
- Rising groundwater beneath the basement floor
- An interior drainage system that requires active water removal
- Damp or wet crawl space conditions
- Older foundations or soil conditions that hold water
An assessment helps determine whether a sump pump is needed and what type of system makes sense for your space.
Sump Pump Systems Designed for Different Uses
Not all sump pump systems serve the same purpose. Halco installs sump pump systems developed by Basement Systems®, including:
- TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System
A three-pump system designed for maximum protection. It includes a primary pump, a secondary pump for high-volume water events, and a battery-powered backup pump to keep water moving during power outages. This system is ideal for homes with high water tables or frequent heavy runoff. - SuperSump® System
A high-capacity, reliable primary pump system designed to handle consistent groundwater infiltration. The SuperSump® is commonly installed in basements where steady water management is essential for long-term protection. - SmartPump® System
Designed to work within interior drainage systems, the SmartPump® offers dependable performance in finished basements and tighter installation spaces while maintaining strong pumping capacity.
Many of our systems include battery backup protection—an essential feature in the Finger Lakes, where storms and power outages often happen at the same time heavy groundwater pressure is building. Battery backup ensures your system continues operating even if utility power fails.
All Halco sump pump installations utilize cast-iron Zoeller® pumps, selected for their durability, performance, and long-term reliability under demanding conditions.
Halco’s Advanced Sump Pump Features
All sump pump systems installed by Halco include:
- Water level alarms that alert homeowners when water rises beyond normal operating levels
- Sealed sump lids that help limit moisture, odors, and debris
- Sediment control features that help protect the pump from buildup over time
- Optional cold-weather discharge line protection to help prevent freezing during winter months
Local Sump Pump Installation You Can Count On
Proper sump pump installation goes beyond placing a pump in the floor. Basin location, liner depth, discharge routing, and system testing all affect how reliably the pump performs.
Halco installs sump pump systems with careful attention to these details. Each system is tested at installation to confirm proper operation and water removal.
Because Halco provides waterproofing and plumbing services in-house, sump pump installation can be coordinated with existing drainage systems when needed.
A sump pump installation with Halco includes:
- An in-home assessment to review water conditions and system needs
- Sump basin preparation and pump installation
- Discharge line routing and freeze protection when appropriate
- System testing and final cleanup
The goal is a system that operates reliably without ongoing attention.
