A sump pump helps to protect your home from water damage caused by basement flooding. By removing the accumulated water, it prevents damage to your home's foundation and personal belongings stored in the basement.
It is recommended to have your sump pump inspected and serviced annually by a professional to ensure that it is in good working condition. This can help to prevent unexpected breakdowns and water damage to your home.
There are two main types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible. Pedestal pumps are located above the sump pit and are less expensive, while submersible pumps are fully underwater and are more effective and longer lasting.
