Stagnant water in the basement
If your basement is flooded, you need a sump pump. The water will destroy the foundation of the basement if not sucked out. This will in turn lead to basement foundation repair. A sump pump will always ensure that any stagnant water in pools is out. This will ensure a dry basement for your family well-being.
You live in a flat area or downhill
Rain water in the form of surface run-off does not flow freely in low land areas. This is worse in areas where soil absorbs a lot of water. Such soil will leak into your basement and cause flooding. A sump pump is helpful in alleviating this problem thus leaving your basement dry and well aerated.
