Professional Sump Pump Installation Prevents a Leaky Basement

Sump pump installation is one of the best ways to insure against a flooded basement. It’s also a great solution for a leaky one, especially if you live in a flood prone or low lying area. A wet basement causes structural problems and may amount to restoration expenses for your property. Take steps to solve the problem once and for all.

How to go about sump pump installation?

• Determine what is causing the leaks or dampness - wall or basement floor cracks, condensation on the windows, water under the foundation, etc. Fix the problem before installing a sump pump.
• Finding the cause and gauging the volume of water accumulation will help decide how powerful your sump pump should be.
• There are many types of manual and automatic sump pumps available. It’s best to choose an automatic one with backup power that meets the specific requirements of your property. You won’t always be there to turn on the manual one. Automatic sump pumps are also a safer option when you have children using the basement.
• Sump pump installation involves putting in a sump pit in the lowest part of your basement floor and an outlet that’s a safe distance from your foundation.
• Get a basement specialist or water proofing company to do the job. Professional installation will help avoid future occurrence or recurrence of leaks and flooding.
