Building safety is very important and it is a major consideration in coming to a
decision over installations into it. This is why landlords, municipalities. and building owners pay particular
attention to the installation of pumps into their properties. Proper pump installation
is essential to safeguard your building from damage caused by water and flooding.

A
proper pump system takes care of water from the drainage system in the
basement. It helps to ensure that your home or place of business is always dry and free from safety
hazards. It also removes the risk of electrocution within due to water
left unattended in the building after heavy rain. Pumps automatically activate when water
levels rise to a certain level. They suck in the water and dispose outside your building. For safety and for the protection of your property, pumps are an
excellent investment. At NY Pump & Motor Repair we have been installing
pumps since 1941, today we want to give an overview about pumps and pump installation in NYC.
What affects the cost of
installation?
Type
of pump
There
are different types of pumps with unique peculiarities and advantages. The
choice is usually between plastic and metal. With a plastic pump, you can be
sure of its ability to withstand corrosion. It will however not function under
high pressure reducing its efficiency. Metal pumps are better suited to high
pressure but their parts are more susceptible to corrosion. Replacing metal
parts can also prove to be very costly as the cost of replacements can rise to
twice the amount it would cost for plastic parts. It’s a matter of getting the
pump that suits your needs based on your building.
Floor
type
Depending
on what type of floor you have in the basement, the cost of pump installation may
vary. Costs are sure to rise where the floor is made of cement. This is because
they are thicker and require a lot of effort and labor to breakthrough them. Gravel
or dirt floors will cost less as they require less labor and allow for speedy
pump installation.

If
electricity is being supplied to your pump and it does not turn on, this may be
a sign that something is wrong. If you find yourself experiencing this problem
with your pump, you should take steps to rectify it as soon as possible. This
is particularly important because of the very damaging effects that may occur
when electricity and water are left to react. If the electrical problems
persist, a swift replacement of the pump is recommended as the safest option.
Noise
For every machine, there will be noise, however there are normal noises that indicate it's running properly and all other noises that indicate a problem. If you notice
incessant noise that differs from the norm in your pump, chances are that some of your parts are worn
out or damaged. Worn out or faulty parts reduce the efficiency of your pump and
will cause total breakdown at a certain point.
