How Sump Pumps Work and Why They Are Important
Sump pumps are devices that are designed to sit in a sump pump basin and are meant to move water from your basement or crawl space to the outside of your home. Sump pumps are often placed inside a pit as part of a basement waterproofing system. This pit, also known as a basin, holds the sump pump and collects water from outside and underneath your foundation.
How Do Sump Pumps Work
Sump Pumps are equipped with check valves that sense the rising water levels in the sump pit and turn on to expel the water from the pit once the water gets too high. This water is carried through a discharge line and to a designated drainage area away from your foundation.
Why Are Sump Pumps Important
Collecting water from around your foundation can prevent a number of issues, including bowed basement walls, foundation cracks, water damage, and water seepage. Our basement waterproofing systems can be installed with a single primary sump pump or a primary pump with a battery backup pump. These systems are designed to keep your home dry no matter how much it rains.
