Sump Pump

 A sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump pit.Basement flooding is most often caused by water build up in the soil that makes it's way into your basement.There are many ways for water to enter and many ways to prevent it.A sump pump is a last defence against flooding because it pumps out water from the lowest section of the basement before the water level reaches the basement floor level.

Many new homes have a sump pit and sump pump in place,complete with drainage tile system under the basement floor that's designed to channel water to the pit.If your home doesn't have this feature,and your water problem affects most of the basement,a retrofit system of this type is good option.However,it's a big job that involves removing concrete and soil from the inside perimeter of the basement,adding gravel,draintiles and a pit and replacing the concrete.

If you have already lived through the dreaded experience of a flooded basement,then you know much damage it can cause.Since a sump pit may overflow if not constantly pumped, a backup system is important for cases when the main power is out for some time.Sump pumps,being highly mechanical, will faill eventually.That's why inspection is mandatory  periodically due to higher water table, water drainage, or weather conditions.One of the problems with most backup sump systems is they are rarely used so a component failure will not be noticed and the system will fail to operate when needed.Backup systems shoul be tested monthly.
