FAQ’s

A sump pump is a pump that is typically installed in the basement or lowest level of your home and is used to remove excess water from the area. If you live in an area that experiences frequent heavy rains or flooding, it is important to consider investing in a sump pump to help protect your home from water damage.
A sump pump is typically installed in a pit or basin that has been dug in the basement or lowest level of your home. The pit is usually filled with gravel to help keep the pump stable, and a pipe is connected to the pit that leads outside. When water enters the pit, the pump is activated and starts to move the water out of the pit and away from your home through the pipe.
There are several different types of sump pumps that are available, including submersible sump pumps, pedestal sump pumps, and water-powered sump pumps. The type of pump that is right for your home will depend on a variety of factors, including the size of your basement or lowest level and the amount of water that typically accumulates in the area.
