You would need a sump pump repair if the sump pump in your basement is not pumping out water. The purpose of a sump pump is to drain excess water that is part of your waterproofing system.
It depends on the power requirements of the sump pump. For a typical residential sump pump, a 2000 watt inverter should be enough. However, it's important to check the power consumption of your specific sump pump to ensure the inverter can handle it.

When you have a crawl space under your home, you have the possibility of having flooding or water build up. If the level of water is allowed to build up too much you can find that your home can sustain costly damage and repair issues. Installing a sump pump in your crawl space can save you from this headache. Here is a guide to help you set up a sump pump for protection. Step 1. Turn off power to the sump pump at the main power source. This will help prevent electrical shock. Step 2. A solid foundation needs to be constructed for the sump pump to rest on. This foundation is best constructed of cinder bocks or a solid piece of wood that is a little larger than the size of the pump. The foundation also needs to be level for the best results. Step 3. Drill a small hole in the discharge pipe. This will help the air flow easier through the pipe for better pressure. Install the discharge pipe from the sump pump to the area where you want to drain the excess water to. Step 4. If water begins to flow back into the sump pump, you will need to install a check flow valve or similar device. Step 5. You will need to attach the power cord for the sump pump to the discharge pipe. This cord must be secure. Step 6. Plug the power cord for the sump pump into the electricity source that you plan on using. Turn the power back on at the main power source for the sump pump to operate. Step 7. It is necessary to test the sump pump for positive operation results prior to using it. To test your sump pump fill the sump pump with water. Never test or operate your sump pump without water being present. Step 8. Add water or refill the pump until there is enough water to reach the level where the sump pump will turn on. Step 9. If you want to install a cover for your sump pump, you can do this now. These covers will help to eliminate dirt and debris from building up in your sump pump and will help to provide odor control from stagnant water.
