How Sump Pumps can save you money

Water damage is not just an inconvenience. It is a highly costly and damaging threat to your home. The average cost to clean, dry, and decontaminate 700 square feet in a home is a whopping $2,700! If carpeting or drywall needs to be replaced that number jumps dramatically to $7,500. That is nearly triple the original estimate for an extremely common issue when a home is affected by water damage.

            A great way to prevent water damage from occurring on your property is by having a Sump Pump installed. Sump Pumps are specially designed drainage system devices that sit within a pit and collects water to disperse before it can enter your home and damage your property.

 When a Sump Pump fills with water and reaches a set level it activates a switch that automatically turns on the pump. When the pump turns on an impeller moves water within the pit. When the impeller forces water out of the pit, more water fills the void left behind, forcing water through the outflow pipe where a check valve prevents anything from flowing back in. By using a Sump Pump, you can completely avoid wasting thousands of dollars trying to repair entirely preventable damage.
