Why Are Sump Pumps Helpful?
Sump pumps are systems designed to decrease the impact that floods and other water damage have on your home. One benefit of installing a sump pump in your basement is long-term cost savings. When flooding affects your basement, it can cause extensive damage to your home. It may ruin the foundation of your basement and seep into the walls. In turn, this can make your home weaker and more susceptible to costly damages and repairs.
Installing a sump pump can prevent excess water from pooling around in your basement. It can also maintain the appearance of your walls because water damage can lead to staining and peeling, which can be costly to fix. You may also be able to save money on your home’s insurance because your property is less likely to experience flooding and water damage.
Flooded basements can become a hot spot for intense fungus, mildew, and mold. These growths can deteriorate the structure of walls and foundations and become a serious health hazard for families. Installing a sump pump in your basement can keep these spaces dry and free from unhealthy mold growth. It can also protect essential appliances that commonly sit in basements, including heaters, boilers, and electrical circuits.
Basements are often home to cherished photos, antiques, furniture, and other special memories. Installing a sump pump can protect these irreplaceable items before flooding ruins them.
How Do Sump Pumps Work?
Sump pumps are typically installed to remove excess water in basements and crawl spaces. If you live in an area that receives frequent and heavy rainfall, or you notice that your basement experiences frequent water pooling, your home can benefit from a sump pump.
Sump pumps are typically installed underneath the floor, usually dug into the ground or foundation of your basement. The top of the sump pump sits level with your floor to ensure water can efficiently run into the system once it starts to collect.
Sump pumps can also collect water that pools around your home’s exterior foundation and gutters. Once the water reaches a specified level inside the sump pump pit, the pump turns on to safely release the collected water before it overflows, sending it through pipes to the exterior of your home. When the sump pump turns on, water is moved using an impeller and centrifugal pump, which forces the water out of the pit and through the pipe.
Sump Pump Installation Services
Combination Sump Pumps
Combination sump pumps merge the battery-operated and primary pumps to avoid installing both systems. In turn, this can prevent situations when the sump pump cannot work due to a power outage or other circumstances.
Submersible Sump Pumps
These primary sump pumps are typically fully submerged in water to avoid overheating. They also feature an electrical operation.
Water-Powered Backup Sump Pumps
Backup sump pumps are installed alongside primary pumps to ensure they remain working no matter the circumstances. For example, if the power goes out during a storm, the backup sump pump kicks in so water can drain efficiently.
Pedestal Sump Pump
The pedestal sump pump contains motors on top of the pit. This ensures they are safe from damage. Pedestal sump pumps are ideal when a smaller sump pit is required.
Battery-Operated Sump Pumps
This backup sump pump is intended for situations when the primary sump pump cannot be powered. In the case of an electrical outage, the battery turns on to allow the sump pump to run smoothly.
Sump pumps should undergo regular maintenance every few months. The professionals at Dry Tech Waterproofing Solutions can assist with sump pump maintenance, as well as sump pump repair and sump pump replacement.
