Exploring the Benefits of an Exterior Sump Pump for Yard Drainage in tampa, fl.

Sump pumps are devices used to remove accumulated water from the lowermost areas of your home, preventing flooding. However, in some cases, your drainage contractor may recommend an exterior sump pump for your yard. This article aims to demystify the exterior sump pump by discussing what it does, why you need one, and how it helps keep your yard beautiful, especially in the Tampa Bay area.

What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump prevents potential flooding by diverting away any excess water build-up underneath your home in your basement or yard. A sump pump commonly refers to the device installed in your basement. Still, if installed in your yard, it’s a sump pump dry well or an exterior sump pump. 

Where are Dry Well Sump Pumps Located?

Sump pumps are always located at the lowest level of your home and run on electricity. If you have a sump pump in your basement, you will find a covered circular hole more petite than your average manhole cover. Inside that hole, you will find your sump pump. On the other hand, a dry well pump or an exterior sump pump is installed by your drainage contractor at the lowest area of your yard.

When Do You Need an Exterior Sump Pump?

Sometimes, small needs need space to excavate enough land to build an effective dry well. In such cases, a dry well that is a little further from the house and utilizes a sump pump would make more sense. Another instance that would call for an exterior sump pump would be in heavy clay soils that do not drain well, or the water table is close to the soil surface. In both cases, dry wells alone cannot put the water into the soil safely and quickly enough to accommodate the next rain.

How Does the Exterior Sump Pump Work?

After installing the outdoor sump pump in the lowest spot in the yard, we connect the pump to a pipe buried below the ground. After rain, the exterior sump pump sends the water somewhere outside the area with high water issues. More often than not, the excess water is pumped to the curb, which flows into the street and the storm sewer system. Water can also be pumped to a wetland or other low-lying area. Sometimes, the piping is connected directly to the city sewer system.

Testimonials

Hi Troy, this is Winnie Becan from 8136 Brinegar Circle in New Tampa, you did drainage work for me last month. I just want to say that I am still happy with the work you did. There is no more water problem, thanks a lot, you did a good job. I recommend my son to you, he is building a new house in the Lutz area it's almost finished so he is checking out landscapers. If he calls you please give him a good price. I told him that you are good at what you do. Thanks again, I will continue to recommend your company. Keep up the good work😏
Winnie Becan
For years, my business suffered from water coming into my building during heavy rains. Then I found Chisholm LawnScapes, and they did what i thought was impossible. They dug a french drain and landscaped it with pavers and turf. Now my building has stayed dry, and it's beautifully landscaped. I am so happy to have worked with Troy. I not only recommend but will be using them for future projects.

Troy Chisholm and Chisholm LawnScapes has done extensive work around my office and for friends and acquaintances of mine. He cut and trimmed all the trees at my other property keeping the canopy of the trees high and lifted up so it wouldn't be an insurance issue. He has also placed rock trenches and bordered my outdoors which looks fabulous and keeps the water away from the building. I highly recommend Troy and his Crew for any and all Landscaping-Drainage jobs that you may have. No job is too big or small for him and his company.
