Our friendly local plumbers can offer you a lot of great advice, and you may have already heard one of our expert technicians recommend installing a sump pump. The trouble is, you probably don’t have a clue what a sump pump is, let alone why your plumber is recommending one! That’s why we’re here with everything you need to know about these devices, and the telltale signs your plumber spotted that tipped them off to you needing one.
What do Sump Pumps Do?
A sump pump is a small device installed at the lowest point of your cellar or basement. When excess water enters your home, it is drawn towards the sump pump, which moves the water away from your home and reduces the risk of flooding.
Sump pumps are usually installed in small, specially dug pits that keep them out of sight and out of mind. Once they’re installed, they work automatically to keep water out of your basement and require only minimal maintenance to keep protecting your home.
Learn the 5 Key Warning Signs that You Need One
- You’ve experienced flooding issues in the past
- Your home is in a problematic location, such as a flat plot with little drainage, below the water table, or on poorly draining soil
- You live in an area where there’s frequent snow and rainfall

- You already have a sump pump, but it’s over 10 years old
