1. What is a Sump Pump?
Picture this: You’re on vacation when you find out there’s a major rain storm about to hit your town, and just like every other rain event, water begins to seep into your basement. Fear not! A sump pump is your trusty sidekick, ready to spring into action and keep your basement dry, and you calm as a cucumber. Bigfoot knows a thing or two about dealing with water, and a sump pump is a key tool in our arsenal.
2. How Does a Sump Pump Work?
Think of a sump pump as the hero guarding the entrance to your home’s basement. It sits in a pit, known as the sump pit, and activates when water levels rise. When it switches on, it pumps water away from your home, preventing basement floods, and gives you some much needed peace of mind!
3. Types of Sump Pumps
You may be familiar with the “classic” Home Depot bucket sump, but we assure you, that’s not the only sump solution. Sumps come in various shapes and sizes. From submersible pumps that dive deep into the sump pit to pedestal pumps that stand tall and proud, there’s a sump pump suited to every basement, and Bigfoot Waterproofing ensures your basement will be equipped with the best setup for the job!
4. Benefits of Sump Pumps
Sump pumps aren’t just water warriors – they’re also guardians of your home’s structural integrity. By keeping moisture at bay, they prevent mold growth, foundation damage, and other water-related woes. With a sump pump on your side, your fortress remains strong and resilient against the elements, while also helping to maintain or even improve your property value.
5. Maintenance Tips
Even heroes need a little TLC from time to time! Bigfoot recommends regular sump pump maintenance to ensure it’s always ready for action. From cleaning debris from the sump pit to testing the pump’s functionality, a little upkeep goes a long way in keeping your basement dry. When you install with Bigfoot Waterproofing, you get an annual free maintenance inspection upon request.
