Basement Sump Pumps

Basement Sump Pumps

Basement sump pumps protect your basement or crawl space from flooding. If water from a heavy rain or other causes seep into your basement or crawl space, you need a sump pump to pump out the water before it can flood. Without a sump pump your basement can flood and cause damage to your house and anything you have stored in the basement. It can also cause mold and mildew that can cause illness if not taken care of immediately.

A sump pump sits down in a basin (hole in the floor) in your basement and as water begins to rise the pump will automatically turn on when the water reaches a certain point. It will pump the water to a drain or wherever you direct it to. Once the water recedes to a certain level the pump will automatically shut off. With the pump being located in a basin the water will never reach the floor level, keeping your basement dry and free from flooding.

A sump pump for your basement is critical if your basement is prone to getting water. There are many different sump pumps available on the market ranging in price, power, quality and reliability. Below are a few sump pumps ranging from 1/3 horsepower to 1 horsepower. The size of the pump you need depends on the amount of water and the distance (as well as the height) that you need to pump the water.
