Effective Basement Solutions handles sump pump installation in NJ, including new pits, pump replacements, and backup systems. We install sealed sump pits, Zoeller pumps, check valves, and discharge lines that carry water away from the foundation. If you already have an interior French drain, we check how it connects to the pit before recommending the setup.
A working pump also needs room for the float to move and a clear route for water to leave the house. We test both during installation and explain how to check the system afterward. For outages, a battery backup pump provides a separate source of pumping power.
Our in-house crews have served New Jersey homeowners since 2011, with no subcontractors. Call or text 1-800-957-0075 for a free inspection and written estimate.
Not sure? We’ll look at it for free and tell you honestly what it needs.
A sealed pit with the pump and float keeps out debris and basement moisture, and ties into your French drain if you have one.
A check valve stops water from flowing back into the pit, and the outside discharge has an ice guard so it keeps working when the line freezes.
A battery backup pump keeps running when the power goes out during a storm, when you need it most.
No subcontractors, ever. When you call, you talk with Franco, the owner — the same company that quotes your job installs it.
Zoeller pumps carry the manufacturer’s warranty, and the drain system we install with them is covered by our 30-year transferable warranty.

Water from your drain system collects in the sump pit. When it rises, the float turns the pump on, and the pump pushes the water through the discharge line to the outside. The check valve stops it from flowing back in.
The primary pump does the everyday work. A battery backup takes over if the power goes out or the main pump fails. We’ll tell you honestly whether you need one.

Test it at least twice a year by pouring water into the pit to make sure it starts and pumps out, and keep the outside discharge clear of debris, snow, and ice.
Yes. A battery backup keeps your basement protected when the power goes out.
