3 Advantages of Using a Sump Pump

Dependable Service Since 1926

A sump pump is a pump designed to remove water build-up from basements and crawlspaces and safely deposit it through the waste water system of a house. The operation of a sump pump is relatively simple, although their installation is more complicated.

Do you need a sump pump? We’ll list three of the advantages of having one to help you make that choice. For answers to more questions, as well as to schedule installation, call the Parker plumbing experts with over eighty years of experience: Bell Plumbing and Heating.

3 ways a sump pump benefits you

  • Prevent flooding damage: Although sump pumps will assist you with preventing problems that the gradual build-up of water in a basement can cause, they really show their usefulness when dealing with large-scale flooding. When heavy rains trigger a flood of water into your basement, you can quickly have 15 inches of flood water covering the floor and damaging almost everything inside, which can be especially devastating if you store valuable items in the basement. With a working sump pump, this disaster can be averted easily.
  • Reduce threat of mold and mildew: Continual dampness inside a basement from water in stagnant pools will contribute to the growth of mold and mildew. Not only are these both damaging to building material, but they are health problems as well. A sump pump keeping a basement dry will keep mold and mildew from getting a hold.
  • Reduce the risk of fire: At first, this may sound like a strange advantage for a system that is supposed to prevent the rise of water. But flooding is one of the key causes of electrical fires to start in your home. The water will short-circuit the appliances in the basement, such as laundry machines, water heaters, and heating systems. So, aside from ruining these valuable appliances, water can also create a fire danger. A sump pump will keep the water from threatening equipment that could trigger household fires.

Sump pump installation

Sump pumps are useful for any home where there is a high water table. Water will start to enter your basement and cause damage and promote mildew. You will need to contact a professional plumber to install a sump pump, since the unit must hook up correctly to a drainage system. There is also more than one type of sump pump, so trust to the professionals to pick the right one for your pumping needs.
