Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are created to remove water from basements and crawlspaces.

What is a Sump Pump?

Ground water surrounding your house's structure is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.
