What exactly is a sump pump?

A sump pump is a crucial device that works with your waterproofing system to keep your basement or crawl space dry and protected from water damage. It is installed in a basin beneath the finished floor of your basement and is equipped with sensors that alert the system when water or moisture is present. Once activated, the sump pump automatically removes any standing water and directs it away from your home using a discharge pipe.

When selecting a sump pump for your home, it's essential to choose the right one for your needs. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial to ensure your sump pump's longevity and effectiveness in protecting your home. Inspect your sump pump regularly, clean the basin, and test the pump to ensure it's working correctly. Having a backup system is also highly recommended.
