A working sump pump is the difference between a dry basement and a finished basement underwater. Kiley installs, replaces, and repairs sump pumps, ejector pumps, well pumps, and battery backup systems across Metrowest MA.
Most Metrowest basements get water at least occasionally — heavy spring rain, snowmelt, or just a high water table on a wet stretch of land. The sump pump is the system that quietly keeps that water out of your finished basement, your boiler, and your stored boxes. When it fails, you usually find out the hard way.
Kiley installs primary AC sump pumps with proper check valves and discharge routing, battery-backup DC pumps for storm-and-power-loss combinations, water-powered backup pumps for homes on town water, and combination AC/DC integrated systems. We also install ejector pumps for basement bathrooms and laundry, and we service well pumps and pressure tanks for homes outside town water.
Every install includes a properly sized pump (most homes need 1/3 or 1/2 HP), a sealed pit to keep humidity and radon out of the basement, a check valve on the discharge so water doesn't flow back into the pit, and a discharge line routed away from the foundation. We also test the float and switch under load before we leave.
We assess water table, pit condition, discharge route, and electrical supply.
1/3 HP for most basements, 1/2 HP for high water tables, plus a backup if power loss is a concern.
Set pump, install check valve, route discharge away from foundation, seal pit cover.
Fill pit and run pump under load. Verify float, switch, and discharge before we leave.
