Step 1
The problem
A homeowner in Overland Park had a sump pit that had functioned well for years – until a series of heavy rains last year led to unexpected basement water issues. Despite having no prior flooding, the sump pit began to overflow, raising concerns about long-term water damage. After a large tree was removed from the backyard, it’s believed the change in the water table contributed to the problem. Unsure of what was causing the sudden overflow and wanting to protect their home, the homeowner reached out to PBJ Plumbing for professional guidance.
Step 2
The solution
PBJ Plumbing provided a comprehensive solution by installing a high-efficiency sump pump system paired with a battery backup unit for protection during power outages. To improve drainage, we also installed a new discharge outlet, redirecting water safely toward the backyard. Our team took the time to walk the homeowner through the new system, providing training and tips for ongoing maintenance and peace of mind. The Overland Park homeowner now has a reliable system in place and renewed confidence ahead of every storm.
