Here are the key reasons to install a sump pump in your home.
- Prevent water damage
- Suppress mold and mildew growth
- Remove standing water
- Improve home value
Sump pump installation may increase the value of your home. Buyers are aware of the risks of water damage and are more likely to be attracted to a home that has a solution already in place. Furthermore, a sump pump prevents damage that could erode your home’s value.
Once a sump pump is in place, it may occasionally need repairs to keep it working well. Watch out for water collecting around your pump, which could indicate it’s not working properly. Listen for the sound of the pump running continuously even when dry, which is a sign of a fault. Seek professional help with these problems as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your pump.
