Why do you need a sump pump?

The main purpose of a sump pump is to keep your basement or other low-lying areas of your home dry. There are different varieties of sump pumps. No matter which type of sump pump you choose, the ultimate purpose of the pump is to pump water out of the basement to keep your home safe from flooding disasters.

What are the different types of pumps?

There are two categories of sump pumps: primary sump pumps and back up sump pumps.

Primary units feature a submersible sump pump that is located below the floor of the home's basement and is out of sight because it is submerged in a basin. Submersible sump pumps are typically the first choice for homeowners simply because they are out of sight and do not take up extra room in the basement.

Pedestal sump pumps are also considered to be a primary sump pump. Pedestal units have a motor above the basin and are visible to homeowners.

With back up sump pumps, you can choose between battery-operated units and a combination sump pump. A battery-operated unit acts as a backup sump pump that automatically kicks on during a power outage. A combination sump pump acts as a primary unit with features of a battery-operated unit.

Which problems are common?

Aside from power outage problems that render your sump pump useless, another common issue is when your unit becomes overwhelmed and cannot handle the flow of water into your home; this can ultimately lead to flooding.

There are different types of sump pumps, and it is imperative to invest in one that can handle the level of water flow in your home. This is another scenario where a backup sump pump can help.

Malfunctioning sump pumps due to age is another common issue. These units should be replaced every five to seven years to avoid unexpected issues. Although your sump pump may still be functioning properly after seven years, it is best to be safe instead of sorry when the basement floods.
