Do I Need a Sump Pump?

Have you heard your friends, family, or neighbors talking about a sump pump and asking yourself…Do I need a sump pump? Typically, you don’t hear any complaints. Just praise about how their sump pump worked after a bad rainstorm which saved them thousands of dollars from water damage bills.

Still wondering if you need a sump pump?

A sump pump is installed underneath the floor of crawl spaces or basements. It is placed there to help collect any ground water to help prevent a flooded basement in your home.  This is especially helpful during extended periods of rain. During the possibility of flooding in your crawl space or basement, the sump pump collects the water and shifts away from your home.

Things to Consider if a Sump Pump is Right for You

Now things to think about before deciding if a sump pump is best for you. One important thing is to determine if your crawl space or basement experiences any below-ground wetness or moisture. The American Society of Home Inspectors has stated that more than 60% of homes can be experiencing this and recommend installing a sump pump. Next, if your home is located in a flood zone, you should take a proactive approach and install a sump pump. This can protect you from potential floods.
