A sump pump can be a critical element in protecting your home from flooding. These pumps sit at the lowest point in your home, usually, in a sump pit in the basement. They work by collecting all ground water that surrounds your property and pumping it safely away from your home. If you have been experiencing flooding in your basement, sump pump installation may be the solution.
Additionally, because a sump pump serves such an important role, if your pump needs repair or replacing, it is crucial to address the issue quickly in order to keep your home dry and safe from flooding.

How a Sump Pump Works
A sump pump is usually a key part of a complete drainage solution for your home preventing basement flooding and water damage. The system works by channeling excess moisture and water through drainage systems that surround the perimeter of your home. Water is then deposited in to a sump pit where the sump pump is activated as needed using a float switch. This, in turn, will pump the excess water away to the nearest storm drain. As this water is efficiently diverted away from your home, the risk of mold, mildew, and water damage in your basement can be avoided.

Sump Pump Repairs
Any equipment that has moving parts has the potential to fail over time due to excessive wear, and a sump pump is no different. The intervals between repair or replacement of sump pumps are hard to determine, as the number of times the pump operates will dictate this. Therefore, regular maintenance and repair is often recommended.
Whether you suspect a problem or are just being cautious, our plumbing company can check for any signs of wear and tear on your current pump and provide advice on the condition and effectiveness of your pump.
