A submersible pump is one of the most effective tools for rapid water extraction in flooded basements, crawlspaces, and standing water situations. Unlike traditional pumps, it operates fully underwater, allowing for efficient and continuous water removal to prevent further damage.
How a Submersible Pump Works
A submersible pump is placed directly in the flooded area and uses an electric motor to force water out through a discharge hose.
Because it operates underwater, it eliminates the risk of losing suction or overheating, making it ideal for continuous, heavy-duty water removal.
These pumps often feature automatic activation, turning on when water levels rise and shutting off once the area is dry.
At Fine Restoration, we specialize in Water Damage Restoration and use top-of-the-line submersible pumps like the Grundfos Unilift AP35B. These pumps are perfect for dealing with flooded basements, sump pump failures and water from storms.
Our team has helped homeowners and businesses in Kansas City, Overland Park, Blue Springs, and Lees Summit, getting things back to normal quickly and efficiently with reliable water damage solutions whenever you need them.
When Do We Use a Submersible Pump?
At Fine Restoration, we deploy submersible pumps for:
- Flooded basements and crawlspaces – Quickly draining standing water after storms or plumbing failures.
- Sump pump failures – Acting as a backup when an existing sump pump stops working.
- Severe water intrusions – Extracting large volumes of water caused by broken pipes or roof leaks.
- Commercial water damage restoration – Handling large-scale flooding in offices, warehouses, and apartment buildings.
If you have standing water in your home or business, don’t wait—the longer water sits, the worse the damage becomes.
Advantages of Using a Submersible Pump
- Efficient Water Removal – Can extract large amounts of water quickly, reducing drying time.
- Fully Submersible Operation – Works directly inside the flooded area, eliminating the need for external suction.
- Automatic Activation – Many models turn on automatically when water levels rise, preventing further flooding.
- Quiet & Energy-Efficient – Operates more quietly than traditional pumps and consumes less power.
Prevents Structural Damage & Mold – Faster water removal means less risk of mold growth and foundation damage.
