If your basement turns into a puddle every time it rains hard, you're not alone. Many homeowners across the Athens, Alabama, area—from those near U.S. 72 to neighborhoods off Lindsay Lane—know that heavy downpours can lead to water collecting under the home. The good news? A professionally installed sump pump can offer a reliable, affordable solution. At Ox Foundation Solutions, we help local homeowners take control of standing water and moisture issues with full-service sump pump installation, maintenance, and repairs.
A sump pump is designed to automatically collect and move water away from your home’s foundation. Installed in a sump pit at the lowest point of your basement or crawl space, the pump activates when water levels rise, pumping water away from your structure. This helps prevent moisture buildup that can cause water damage, odors, or even structural issues over time.
For homes in Athens—where shifting red clay soils and strong storms are common—this kind of protection isn’t just helpful, it’s essential.
Whether you live in the heart of Athens or a nearby subdivision, your home’s drainage situation is unique. That’s why our process starts with a detailed inspection of your property. We’ll identify problem areas, evaluate soil conditions, and determine the best placement for the sump system.
We install high-performance submersible sump pumps built to handle Alabama’s intense weather. These systems activate automatically and run efficiently, helping to keep your basement or crawl space drier, even during the wettest months.
Already have a sump pump but not sure if it’s working the way it should? If your system is struggling to keep up, making odd noises, or has completely stopped, we’re here to help. Our team can quickly troubleshoot and fix problems like float switch malfunctions, clogs, or motor failure. If repairs aren’t possible, we’ll recommend a replacement pump and handle the installation—no hassle, no guesswork.
Like any piece of equipment, a sump pump needs a little care to perform at its best. Ox Foundation Solutions offers regular maintenance services to clean, test, and inspect your system. We’ll make sure your sump pump is ready to work when the next storm rolls through.
