Why an Efficient Sump Pump Makes All the Difference

Basements and crawl spaces leak. This is something most people will have to deal with at some point in their life. To combat this, most homes have a sump pump that it supposed to ensure their basement or crawl space stays dry. If this is what a sump pump is supposed to do, why do we always hear stories about homes being flooded because their sump pump wasn’t working properly?

This is because it is far too common for people to have extremely ineffective sump pumps. It’s usually a creepy hole in the floor that offers little to no protection in case of a leak or flood. That’s why it is so important to get an effective pump that will keep your home dry in the event a water leak occurs, which believe me will likely happen at some point.

The problem with the typical sump pumps we see in the homes of our customers is that they are doing more harm than good. Besides for the ugly appearance, most of these pumps are simply open holes in the ground. Without an airtight lid, the water within the sump pump will continue to evaporate into your basement or crawl space. This is simply ineffective! The goal of a sump pump is to keep your home dry, not allow a continuous stream of water vapor to enter your home.

So what kind of sump pump do you need?

You need a sump pump that will get the job done so you wont have to worry. Our team recommends the SuperSump and TripleSafe sump pump systems to ensure your home will stay dry in a time of need.

A SuperSump sump pump is an effective system that accepts water from under the ground and through the drainage systems in your home. Thankfully, this pump has an airtight lid that prevents water vapor from evaporating into your home. Genius! Some added benefits of this sump pump are the drain in the lid that allows water to enter in case of a flood and an alarm that will sound if the system is not working properly.

The TripleSafe sump pump system has even more to offer. This sump pump has 3 pumps in one liner. The first pump is effective and will usually do most of the work. The second pump is higher in the liner and automatically turns on if the first pump is not keeping up. Finally the third pump is battery powered and will ensure the sump pump is working even if the power goes out.

You can now say goodbye to an ugly, ineffective sump pump!
