Why You Need a Sump pump
All it takes is severe storms, water table changes, or near by construction that alters ground levels to cause a big problem with water seeping into your home. In any of these cases, water might find its way into your basement and you need a reliable solution designed to keep it dry.
Sump pumps provide a last line of defense against a sudden rise in water levels on your residential property.

How Sump Pumps Work
How Sump Pumps Work
Sump pumps are installed in a sump pit in your basement. This pit is built where the water table is the highest and your basement is the lowest, ensuring natural flow of water beneath your foundation into the pit.
Once the water reaches a certain level in the sump pit, the pump will come on automatically and discharge the water through an outlet.
Another important part of a sump pump is the battery backup. Sump pumps are usually powered by your electrical system. However, during a storm, the risk of power outage or shortage is high. Therefore, it’s a good idea to have a battery backup in place to keep the pump running throughout outages to minimize the risk of flooding your basement.
