Sump pumpsĀ move water from your basement or other underground structures. A sump is a naturally constructed pit, usually a hole carved below your basement floor. This pit, known as a basin, holds the sump pump. The pump is equipped with valves that measure water levels or pressure.
Sump pumps can be found in both residential, industrial, and commercial settings. They are designed to protect your property from flooding and water buildup. Even if your basement area is not prone to flooding, if you have excess moisture around your home’s foundations, a sump pump may help prevent serious water damages.
These devices need frequent maintenance to ensure proper functionality and effectiveness against flooding.
