Sump pumps play a crucial role in protecting your home from potential water damage, especially in basements or crawlspaces. They work tirelessly to prevent excess water from compromising your foundation, particularly after heavy rainfall. Most sump pumps are powered by electricity, but there are also battery-backed models available to ensure operation even during power outages.

Equipped with a check valve, sump pumps prevent water from flowing back into the pit once it has been expelled. However, as components age, they can become prone to failure, which might lead to serious flooding if not addressed promptly. If you notice any issues with your sump pump or if it seems to be malfunctioning, don’t hesitate to contact Homeservice Plumbers. We’re available 24/7 to ensure your sump pump operates smoothly and keeps your home safe from water damage.
