The Importance Of Sump Pumps In A Home-Managed Flood

By Kenny Marcum


The sump pump is the homeowner's first line defense against flooding in the basement and a very important machine to initiate the process of flood cleanup. The problem though is that more than half of American homeowners think that a sump pump is an ugly-looking, foul-smelling, damp-producing and moisture-forming machine.

A good number of these homeowners believe that a sump pump renders their homes a tough sell. This is grounded on the belief that such machines emit foul odors which can turn away potential home buyers.Nonetheless, top-notch flood cleanup companies believe that a dedicated sump pump structure not only deals with the homeowner's concern on major flood cleanup but also increases the value of his home.

Experts in plumbing suggest that homeowners use a patented sealed-environment sump pump system. These sump pump systems should have three pumps working together in order to help the homeowner with his or her flood clean up issues. These pump systems will successfully address the common problems related with common waterproofing technologies.

Sump pumps come with backup systems to help assist if the primary pump fails. The backup sump pump will continue to remove the flood water if that were to happen. Sump pumps also come with an axillary pump which helps to support the primary pump in removing large surplus amounts of flood water that need to be removed. There are also backup sump pumps that can be operated with batteries so that in case of a power failure or in a situation where the main power has to be turned off the sump pump will continue to work.

Sump pumps are extremely effective in reducing the work that would need to be done to remove flood water from a basement or crawlspace which in essence makes it much easier on the homeowner and causes less worry for them as well. There are also many sump pumps that operate smoothly, quietly and are effective enough to remove up to 110,000 liters of flood water per hour. These sump pumps can also resist clogging by pumping even half-inch wide solid particles.

Sump pumps actually work by automatically removing flood water once the alarm is activated. Most of these pumps are activated once a critical level of flood water is reached. Because of this, it not only saves you from the headache of manually removing flood water but also save you tons of money you would have otherwise spent in professional flood cleanup companies.
