Sometimes sump pumps are improperly installed. The flexible sump pump hose in this picture from a Delmar, DE home is bent in more than one place, causing flow restriction that could back up into the pump and its well. When you have one of Dr. Energy Saver's Smart Sump's installed, we use hard PVC pipes allowing for a consistent pump. This means you are less likely to have restricted flow and damage. Contact Dr. Energy Saver today to schedule your free sump pump checkup with one of our certified inspectors!
