Many homeowners don’t think much about a sump pump, but this important device can keep your home’s basement from being flooded. Sump pumps have float switches that get triggered when water reaches a certain level. Once this level is reached, the sump pump begins removing water into an outdoor area such as a well or nearby storm drain. You should ensure your sump pump has a battery-powered water-level alarm, so your family is warned of potential flooding if your sump pump malfunctions or overflows.
