Our Story
The Sump Doctor UVC Light was created to solve a frustrating problem homeowners and contractors deal with every day: foul odors coming from sump crocks and basement sump systems.
For years, homeowners have spent thousands of dollars trying to eliminate musty, damp, sewage-like basement odors using temporary fixes that rarely address the true source of the problem.
While working in radon mitigation, we repeatedly saw customers more concerned about the smell coming from their sump basin than the radon system itself. In many cases, the odor was being caused by unwanted biologics, organic buildup, mold, mildew, bacteria, and stagnant moisture inside the sump environment.
Existing solutions were often expensive, complicated, or ineffective.
That real-world experience led to the development of the Sump Doctor UVC Light — a simple, targeted solution designed specifically for sump systems.
The Sump Doctor UVC Light mounts directly through the sump lid and shines ultraviolet (UVC) light inside the sump basin, helping reduce odor-causing biologics where they grow without requiring major plumbing modifications or costly sump replacement.
The result is a cleaner sump environment and improved odor control designed specifically for residential and commercial sump systems.
Low-power, simple to install, and engineered for real-world use, the Sump Doctor UVC Light offers homeowners and contractors a smarter way to help control sump crock odors at the source.
Whether you're a contractor looking for an effective odor-control solution for your customers or a homeowner tired of embarrassing basement smells, the Sump Doctor UVC Light delivers a practical solution built from years of hands-on field experience.
