Did you understand? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and dripping problems as they are designed to get rid of water from basements and crawlspaces.

What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is typically set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is transported into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit.
