Protect Your Basement with ARK Basement Services

At ARK Basement Services, we specialize in affordable, reliable, and knowledgeable basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions. For over 21 years, we have been helping homeowners across Western Pennsylvania, Erie, and Northeastern Ohio protect their basements from water damage.

With our cutting-edge sump pump systems and battery backup solutions, we ensure that your home remains dry and structurally sound—even in the harshest weather conditions.

Why Sump Pump Systems Are Essential for Basement Waterproofing

A sump pump system is the heart of an effective basement waterproofing strategy. Without it, water can accumulate in your basement, leading to issues such as:

Flooding and Water Damage
Mold and Mildew Growth
Foundation Cracks and Structural Weakening
Damp and Musty Smells
Damage to Stored Belongings and Furniture

How Sump Pumps Work

A sump pump is installed in a specially designed sump pit in your basement. When water levels rise due to rain or a high water table, the pump automatically activates and removes excess water, directing it away from your home’s foundation. This prevents basement flooding and moisture-related problems.

The Best Sump Pump Solution: The PitBoss 3/4 HP Stainless-Steel Sump Pump

At ARK Basement Services, we only use top-quality sump pumps, and our flagship model—the PitBoss 3/4 HP Stainless-Steel Sump Pump—is a high-performance, energy-efficient solution trusted by thousands of homeowners nationwide.

Key Features of the PitBoss 3/4 HP Stainless-Steel Sump Pump

✔ Heavy-Duty Construction – Built with cast iron and stainless steel for long-lasting durability.
✔ Energy-Efficient Motor – Uses 50% less energy with a 5-AMP motor, reducing electricity costs.
✔ Clog-Free Design – Top suction design prevents air-locking and clogging, common issues in standard sump pumps.
✔ High-Performance Pumping Capacity – Pumps up to 3,702 gallons per hour at a 10-foot lift, making it ideal for heavy water flow areas.

Prevents Costly Repairs: Keeping water out of your basement reduces the risk of structural damage, mold growth, and expensive home repairs.

The Importance of a Battery Backup System

While a sump pump is crucial for basement protection, it relies on electricity. If the power goes out—especially during heavy storms—your primary sump pump may stop working, leaving your home vulnerable to flooding.

A battery backup system ensures that even during a power outage, your sump pump continues to function, providing a critical extra layer of protection for your home.

The PitBoss Battery Backup System – Ultimate Peace of Mind

At ARK Basement Services, we offer the PitBoss Battery Backup System, designed to keep your basement dry—even when the unexpected happens.

Key Features of the PitBoss Battery Backup System

✔ High-Performance Backup Power – Pumps up to 2,580 gallons per hour at a 10-foot lift.
✔ Automatic Self-Testing – Runs daily system checks to ensure it’s always ready.
✔ Waterproof Circuit Board – Designed for longevity in damp environments.
✔ Alerts and Alarms – Provides real-time warnings if there is a system issue.
✔ LCD Display – Gives instant updates and messages about system status.
✔ Compatible with the 75 AMP Richtech Battery (sold separately) for optimal performance.

Why a Battery Backup System is a Must-Have

Protects Against Power Failures – Ensures your sump pump works even when the power is out.
Prevents Costly Water Damage – Just a few inches of basement flooding can cause thousands of dollars in damage.
Provides Long-Term Basement Protection – Works in emergency situations to keep your home dry.
Peace of Mind – Never worry about basement flooding due to power outages again.

How to Maintain Your Sump Pump System for Long-Term Protection

To ensure your sump pump system and battery backup continue to perform optimally, regular maintenance is essential.

Routine Maintenance Tips

🔹 Test Your Sump Pump – Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to ensure the pump activates properly.
🔹 Inspect Power Connections – Make sure the pump is plugged into a dedicated outlet and the battery backup is functioning.
🔹 Clean the Sump Pit – Remove debris, silt, or sediment to prevent clogs.
🔹 Check the Float Switch – Ensure it moves freely and activates the pump when water levels rise.
🔹 Replace Backup Battery as Needed – Batteries degrade over time, so replace them every 3-5 years for best performance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As new homeowners we were not expecting to need to address water in our basement so soon into owning our home. Jim and his team at Ark Basement Services came recommended and after doing a walk through, and getting a thorough explanation of the work to be done, we booked an internal French drain service. The team was prompt, thorough, communicative, and efficient during the work period. We have had several rainstorms since the drain was installed with no water coming into our basement, which has brought us great relief. Would highly recommend Ark Basement Services for all of your needs !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We requested an estimate for a problem in our basement. Jim came to our room very promptly and was extremely professional in his presentation. We were going away and requested that the work be done before we left, or after we returned. Jim got us on the schedule within a week. On the appointed day, Jim arrived early with a crew of 3 workers. David, David and Cory. They started immediately and were very neat. Plastic put up to protect the room from dust. The work was performed in one day. Extremely satisfied. Would use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We called ARK Basement Services when we noticed foundation cracking after the long, cold winter we just had. Joe Rosa was very knowledgeable and gave us an affordable estimate to install carbon fiber straps in our basement area. The installer, Bob, was such a hard working individual and completed the job in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend ARK to take care of your basement problems.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ARK Basement Services is more than a basement services company - they are a company that puts compassion and service at the front of everything they do. A basement issue, be it water intrusion, foundation instability, bowing walls, or any issue in their area of vast expertise, is a personal mission to correct the problem and improve their clients' lives. Jim Perry and his crew are consummate professionals whose acumen in resolving any issue is beyond reproach, and their commitment to conducting their business with the utmost integrity is admirable. In a time of diminishing values and service, ARK Basement Services is a trusted partner and the only company I would unreservedly endorse for any basement solution.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ARK Basement Services have earned my trust and confidence in their services. ARK completed my job yesterday, and I am impressed. First of all, I was very pleased with my estimate, as it was the most fair that I received. Jim, the owner, met with me and explained exactly how he could solve my foundation issues. Jim oversaw the entire process, and I appreciated that. Matt and Spencer proved to be absolutely up to the job. They arrived on time and they worked nonstop until my job was completed. They respected my home and delivered a First class waterproofing job. I am a very happy person, and I know that I made the right decision when I chose ARK.
