Sump pumps are an essential part of any home's plumbing system, particularly for homes located in areas prone to flooding or heavy rainfall. Not sure of their importance? Well, simply put, a sump pump is a device that helps prevent flooding in your home's basement or crawlspace.

When heavy rains or snowmelt occur, water can seep into your home's foundation and basement, causing significant damage to your property and belongings. A sump pump collects and pumps this excess water away from your dwelling, keeping your basement or crawlspace dry and preventing water damage.

In addition to preventing water damage, sump pumps also help protect your home's structural integrity by reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can cause wood rot and other forms of decay.

• Power failure: If your sump pump loses power during a storm or other event, it won't be able to do its job. A backup battery or generator can help keep your sump pump running during a power outage.
• Clogged intake: Dirt, debris, and other materials can clog your sump pump's intake valve, preventing water from flowing through the system. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent clogs and keep your sump pump working properly. Switch failure: The float switch that turns your sump pump on and off can wear out or become stuck over time. A technician can replace the switch or make other adjustments to ensure your sump pump works correctly.
• Overfilled basin: If your sump pump's basin becomes too full of water, it won't be able to do its job. Installing a check valve can prevent water from flowing back into the basin and help keep your basement dry.
