Is Your Basement Ready For Wet, Winter Weather?

Higher water levels during the winter and following spring are often the causes of basement flooding. If you have a home with a basement prone to flooding, the best solution is the installation of a sump pump. Sump pumps collect excess water surrounding your home’s foundation and pump the water out away from the structure to prevent flooding and potential foundation damage. With winter quickly approaching, now is the time to ensure you have a properly working sump pump to keep water from flooding your basement, causing expensive water and mold damage.

Installing A New Sump Pump For Your Home

If  you have a home with a basement and do not yet have a sump pump installed, opting to install one is a worthwhile investment. It only takes one heavy wet season to flood your basement, and cause expensive water damage to your home. Not only will floodwater ruin flooring, walls and furniture, it can leave moisture residue that causes mold problems. Your local sewer or septic service company can install a new sump pump to keep your basement dry throughout the wet season.

Maintaining A Sump Pump

For those who already have a sump pump, you will want to make sure your pump is ready for the winter by having it inspected and serviced. Just like any mechanical device, your sump pump will need preventative maintenance and attention from time to time to keep it running properly. It is much easier and less expensive to maintain your sump pump than to have it fail when you need it most. Call your local sewer or septic professional to schedule a sump pump inspection before the full force of winter is upon us.
