A sump pump is a device designed to prevent basement or crawlspace flooding. It's typically installed in a pit at the lowest point of your home. When water collects in this area, the sump pump activates, pumping the water through a pipe to an outdoor location like a storm sewer or dry well.
Sump pumps, either manual or automatic, are a crucial part of any home's flood prevention. If your area is prone to flooding, a sump pump is essential to protect against water damage. They're most used during heavy rains but also effectively remove water from leaks or condensation in your basement or crawlspace.
When selecting a sump pump, consider two main types:
Submersible Sump Pumps: These are fully submerged in water, typically more powerful, and can handle larger volumes.
Pedestal Sump Pumps: These sit above the water level, making them ideal for limited spaces like crawlspaces.
It's also important to size your pump correctly based on your basement/crawlspace square footage and typical rainfall (measured in Gallons Per Hour - GPH). If you're unsure, a professional plumber or contractor can help you choose and ensure proper installation.
