Do you Know What a Sump Pump Is?
Can a sump pump help you sleep soundly? For some homeowners, the sound of rain pounding against a window can be a calming guarantee of a good night’s sleep. For the homeowner whose basement floods, the deluge of water is an anxiety-inducing nightmare.
A sump pump can be the difference between sleeping soundly through a rainstorm or waking to a flooded house of horrors.

What will they find when they awake? Is there standing water in the basement? Will there be soggy boxes and destroyed possessions? Could water damage require the expensive replacement of a furnace, washing machine, or dryer? Will mold caused by the damp make family members sick?
What is a sump pump?
A sump pump is a device that sends water away from a home to a place where it’s no longer problematic, like a dry well or storm drain.
How does a sump pump work?
When water enters a home, it is collected via perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system. Via gravity, the water is funneled to a collection basin, known as a sump basin.
The “pumping” portion of a sump pump removes water from the collection basin and sends it out of a home. Sump pumps run on electricity but can have a battery back-up to ensure pumping continues, even if a storm has knocked out a home’s electricity.
