Pair proximity to the ocean with saturated dirt and soil and heavy spring rains and you’ve got yourself a recipe for disaster. All of these ingredients can result in flooding and when standing water ends up in your home, you’ll have a variety of problems on your hands. So, what’s the best way to get flood water out of your basement? The answer is quite simple — a sump pump will do the trick!

What Does a Sump Pump Do?

A sump pump system is designed to collect water in a “hole” at the lowest point of your basement. Once water collects, a pump goes into action to push water out of your home, depositing it far enough away so that it does not find it’s way back through your home’s foundation.

This will help you safely and effectively manage standing water in the basement without putting your home and your family at risk.
