Keep your basement dry during stormy seasons.
Here in Northern Virginia, having a sump pump in your basement is a necessary part of water management for your home. If you live in an area with regular flooding or a high water table, your basement can experience flooding from time to time.
Without a sump pump, you can experience damage to anything you have in the basement or crawlspace. Plus, you’ll avoid the mold and mildew that can occur when water accumulates in a basement.
Sump pumps are placed in a “sump pit,” where they wait until water collects. When the water reaches a certain level, the pump activates and removes the water from the basement, directing it away from the house’s foundation.
There are two types of sump pumps: submersible and pedestal. Pedestal sump pumps sit above the sump pit and are more economical. Submersibles are more efficient and quieter. We can help you decide which type of sump pump will work best for your needs and preferences.
