Is your basement prone to flooding? If so, there are a number of options available to protect your investment and ensure that basement flooding is no longer an issue. One option that many homeowners choose is a sump pump. Read on to learn more about this product, whether or not it is a right solution for your home, and why you can rely on Intech Anchoring for all of your sump pump needs.
If you’ve experienced previous flooding:
When past experiences prove your home is prone to flooding, a permanent solution such as a sump pump may be necessary to prevent this in the future.
If your home is located in a flat or low-lying area:
Your basement may be closer to the water table, also known as the area beneath the ground that is saturated with water. This means that your basement is more likely to be infiltrated by water.
If your area experiences large quantities of rain or snow:
If your geographical location experiences heavy precipitation, the soil surrounding your basement can become saturated with water. As pressure builds, your basement may become flooded.
If you have a finished basement:
If your basement has been modified with drywall and furnishings, you have even more reason to protect your valuable investment from flooding.
A sump pump is a small pump that is typically installed in the lowest area of your home’s basement or crawl space. The sump pump is placed within a sump pit. Either natural migration or drains direct water that surrounds your home to the sump pit. The sump pump then pumps water out of the pit and away from your home, ensuring dryness in your basement.
A sump pump is an excellent way to ensure your most valuable investment – your home – is protected from water damage. Basement flooding can lead to serious damage to your home as well as costly repairs. By installing a sump pump, you are keeping your investment permanently safe from flooding, preventing the need for expensive repairs and increasing the value of your home.
