Sump Pump

The Importance of Sump Pumps for Homes

Sump pumps are critical devices as they pump excess water away from your home to another designated area. This excess water can be from rain, melted snow or any other water that might damage your property’s foundational structures. Sump pumps are installed in the basement or in a sump pit and are vital for the following reasons:

• Protection from water damage: Excess water can damage your home’s foundation, walls and wires.
• Controls mold and mildew: By moving water away from the basement, you can control these and other contaminants. 
• Helps prevent flooding: During torrential rains or plumbing malfunctions, sump pumps move the water, preventing flooding.
• Can save you money in the long term: Protecting your basement, property structure and stored valuables can prevent potential repair or replacement expenses.
