Benefits of Sump Pumps

Spread the love

Excess moisture around the foundation of your home can cause many problems. From basement flooding and interior water damage to erosion of your foundation, excess water can become an expensive problem. Homes can become too humid, causing mold growth that can damage walls, ceilings and cause health problems for your family. Adding a sump pump to your home can mitigate these issue, protecting your biggest investment – your home. Here are a few ways sump pumps can benefit your home.

  • Remove rainwater. High water tables are the most common reason for basement or crawl place flooding, usually from rainwater. Sump pumps can remove water from around your foundation, protecting your home from flooding during the wet season.
  • Drain condensation from air conditioners. Some central air conditioning units may need a sump pump to remove condensation away from the home if a gravity drain is not possible.
  • Poor drainage. Some properties do not have proper drainage, allowing water to flow toward a home or business. A sump pump can ensure that drainage issues do not cause damage to your home, keeping excess water from seeping into your basement or crawl space.
  • Storm protection. Even if excess water is not an ongoing problem at your home, having a sump pump in place can protect your home from flooding in heavy storms. It is worth the investment to avoid expensive water and mold damage down the road.

For a sump pump to work effectively, it must be installed correctly. Call your local sewer or septic service company to schedule a consultation on how best to install a sump pump into your home for the highest level of protection.
