Winter storms can affect many houses and businesses negatively. When the snow melts, the mess can escalate quickly

Winter storms can affect many houses and businesses negatively. When the snow melts, the mess can escalate quickly; this is where the sump pump comes in.

Sump pumps are cylindrically placed in the lowest point of a basement. If your basement is prone to flooding, it will automatically turn on and pump water from your basement before water damage happens.

They’re placed at the lowest point of your basement. This is because water drains into it. They only turn on when they come in contact with water. 

Here are some major sump pump benefits

• Prevents basement flooding
• Protects from sewage backups
• Protects your home from mold and mildew
• Reduces humidity level in the home
• Prevention of termite or insect infestation

Sump pumps remove water from your basement, but they can also pump groundwater away from the basement.
