What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is essential for preventing basement flooding by redirecting water away from your home’s foundation. Installed at the lowest point of your basement, the sump pump activates when water levels rise, pumping water to a safe location. This prevents leaks and water damage, maintaining the integrity of your home.
