What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is installed in the lowest part of your home, often in a basement or crawlspace. It removes excess water from a sump pit and helps prevent flooding, water damage, and mold growth.
Types
Submersible Sump Pumps:
Installed inside the sump pit, it is quiet and space-saving. Best for homes with larger pits or frequent water accumulation.
Pedestal Sump Pumps
sits above the pit, keeping it dry. Easier to maintain but noisier. Ideal for smaller pits or areas with less water.
Battery Backup Systems
operation during power outages. Highly recommended for homes in flood-prone areas.
Maintaining
Test
Test your pump every 3–4 months by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates.
Clean
Clean the pump, pit, and discharge line annually to prevent clogs.
Inspect
Inspect the float switch and power source regularly.
