Whether your home is prone to flooding or you’re just looking to add an extra layer of protection, here is why you should consider adding a sump pump to your home.

WHAT IS A SUMP PUMP?

A sump pump is a pump that is used to remove water that has accumulated pump it away from a home. They are frequently used in the basements of homes that flood frequently or exist below the water table.

WHAT DO SUMP PUMPS PROTECT AGAINST?

• Winter Snow Melt – In the winter months, we accumulate a lot of snow around our homes. However, when that snow melts, it can be problematic for our homes. A sump pump will help protect your basement from flooding damage when the snow starts to melt.

• Frequent Spring Rain – “April showers bring May flowers” is a popular saying for a reason. As we approach the spring months, we will be seeing a lot more rain. More rain could mean more flooding problems for homeowners.
