Commercial Sump Pumps

Regulations for Sump Pumps in Elevator Pits

Sump pumps are installed in commercial elevator pits to prevent ground water from backing up, but they are not intended to pump out waste water, such as sewage. They are not directly connected to the sewer line to prevent sewer gases from entering the building. Elevator sumps in apartment buildings, hotels, and other commercial spaces need to be properly maintained to make sure that they are in working condition and prevent flooding in elevator shafts. In businesses that use flammable materials or oily substances, there are special requirements to consider. You should make sure you understand the codes for your type of business and that your sump pump is installed correctly and inspected annually.

Floor–Mounted and Guide–Rail Sump Pumps

The floor–mounted pumps are usually preferred over the guide–rail pumps because they sit above the well on a dry surface, which makes them easier to access. Maintenance and repairs for floor–mounted pumps do not require lifting the pump or removing it from the well or pipes. Guide–rail submersible pumps are installed when there’s not enough floor space above the well. These pumps are submerged in the well, which makes installation and maintenance a little more challenging. However, most commercial submersible sump pumps are designed with a guide–rail so that the pump can be lifted from the well to make repairs or clean.Whether you have a floor–mounted self–priming pump or a guide–rail accessible submersible pump, our plumbers can repair, maintain, and inspect your commercial elevator sump.
