A sump pump is the key to a dry and protected basement or crawl space. The sump pump is the heart of any waterproofing system, working to remove water from the basement of the house. This is important because a few inches of water in your basement or crawl space can be a major expense. It can also cause damage to your home’s foundation, or dangerous mold and mildew.

How does a sump pump work?
A sump pump typically consists of two parts: a float switch and a mechanical pump. This mechanism is placed in a pit at the lowest level of a home’s basement. When water finds its way into your basement and the level rises, it will eventually lift the float switch high enough to activate the pump. The water is then pumped out of your basement through a discharge pipe.
A sump pump that is working properly is the key to a dry and protected basement or crawl space. In fact, a sump pump is at the heart of any good waterproofing system because it works to remove excess water from the lower level to the outside and away from the house. Why is this important? Just a few inches of water in your basement or crawl space can be a major expense, not to mention the damage it can cause to your home’s foundation, or the dangerous mold and mildew that can result from flooding or leaks.
