Protecting your home and belongings in case of flooding is simple when you call Garrett Basement Waterproofing for your sump pump installation in Akron, OH.What is a sump pump?
A sump pump is a small electric pump placed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace, where standing water would naturally gather. The unit itself sits in a pit about 2 feet deep and 1½ feet across. As the pit fills with water, the pump activates and the water is expelled through piping running away from the foundation.
Sump pumps are primarily used in buildings with low lying foundations where heavy rain or melting snow could lead to flooding of the structure’s basement. However, since the U.S. Federal Clean Water Act and its amendments have been enacted, sump pumps are required in homes that might have moisture or flooding issues even if the homes are not necessarily a high flood risk. Therefore, sump pumps now are common in newly constructed homes in Ohio.
