Sump Pumps - The Basics
The Sump Pump is one of most important appliances in your home and should be given more thought than it normally receives.
Its basic function is simply to pump the water out of the sump pit and away from the home so the basement or crawlspace remains dry. The sad part is it doesn’t take much water to cause thousands of dollars of damage and most homeowners don’t know they have a failure until it’s too late.
The average basement finished cost is somewhere between $10,000 and $35,000 and this small appliance called a “sump pump” can save you lots of headaches if planned properly.
