A sump pump is what actually takes water out of your basement. We install sealed sump pits, Zoeller sump pumps, check valves, and discharge lines that carry water away from your foundation — plus battery backup pumps for power outages.
Effective Basement Solutions has kept New Jersey basements dry since 2011 — with our own crews, never subcontractors. Call or text 1-800-957-0075 for a free 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.

The pump carries the manufacturer’s warranty. The drain system we install with it is covered by our 30-year transferable warranty.
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.
