Sump Pump Failure in a Finished Basement in Oakhurst, NJ
8/2/2017 (Permalink)
Sump pumps, commonly placed in the lowest part of basements and crawlspaces, are used to pump the water out and away from the building to keep it dry and prevent flooding. Water from rain, melting snow, flooding, and other water related disasters can seep through a building’s foundation into a sump basin or other area where standing water is distributed to the pump.
Sump pump failures are one of those things that you don't think about until it is too late. If you rely on a sump pump to keep your basement from flooding, it's important to have a backup system in place. Consider one or more of the following options as a backup system:
- Secondary Electric Pump
- Battery Backup Powered System
- Hydraulic Pump
- High Level Alarm
