 Sump pump installation - Nova pump systems are safe, efficient protection for your home and belongings.

The NOVA-PUMP SYSTEM keeps your basement dry, even during power outages if the battery back-up system is added (optional). Lower quality sump pumps fail prematurely due to the quality issues when handling high volumes of water. That is why we only use superior quality pumps with our NOVA-PUMP SYSTEM that will protect your basement from flooding and protect your belongings.


"We strongly encourage adding the optional battery-powered back-up pump that will automatically take over in the rare event of a power outage. If you are undecided, you may choose to purchase the battery-powered back-up pump at a later date even after the NOVA-PUMP SYSTEM has already been installed."



Most homes being built are not high-end custom homes. An additional few hundred dollars spent on drainage and pumps make a world of difference. Owners won’t hesitate to put that much into countertops, cabinets or lighting, but they should also think of upgrading the systems that protect their home. Let NOVA-DRY install a NOVA-PUMP SYSTEM and/or WATER-DRAIN SYSTEM from the beginning, and give yourself a peace of mind.


Sump Pump Solutions: Protect Your Home from Water Damage.


Sump pumps for basements are an essential component of residential concrete repair, as they can prevent devastating water damage to your home. Sump pumps work by transferring water from your basement to a safe location, and can protect your home against a variety of water-related problems, including flooding, sewage backups, mold and mildew growth, and even electrical damage and fire hazards. However, it is important to note that sump pumps rely on electrical power, so if there is a power outage in your area, you may want to consider installing a battery backup to ensure that your sump pump continues to work when you need it most.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of basement sump pumps are available?

    They can be broadly categorized into two types: pedestal and submersible. The pedestal sump pump has its motor built on the pedestal over thesump, rendering service easier. Submersible sump pumps are quieter and have greater power, they are completely submerged in the sump.

  • How to test sump pump?

    Pour water slowly into the sump pit to test your sump pump. The pump should be enabled when the float/sensor triggers it to remove the water. So, this means that the pump is operating well.

  • How do sump pumps work?

    Sump pumps are placed into a sump pit in the basements or crawl spaces. Upon water entry into a pit, the floater or a sensor triggers the pump into operation thereby pumping out the water from the pit of the building and thus no flooding.

  • How long do sump pumps last?

    Sump pumps usually last for around ten years. Nonetheless, routine maintenance, including cleaning and assessment of any faults, can extend the lifespan and operational efficiency of a reactor vessel.

  • How often should I maintain my sump pump?

  • What size sump pump do I need?

    You have to determine what is the size of your basement and how much water in cubic feet per minute the sump pump collects. Therefore, a professional may be required to establish the most ideal size that could handle an efficient flow of water.

  • Where should I install my sump pump?
