I will definitely be recommending Baker and Sons to everyone!! They were very professional and came quickly! I love how they sent a picture of the technician that was scheduled to come and the number he was going to be calling from. They went above and beyond and are fair priced. The technicians were very nice and explained everything that they were going to do. Very pleased with everything!
Why Sump Pumps Are Important
A sump pump prevents flooding by removing excess water from your basement and directing it outside your home and away from its foundation. It sits in a basin called a sump pit in the lowest part of your home, which is usually your basement, but can be your crawl space. When the water in the sump pit reaches a certain level, the sump pump turns on and pumps the water out of your home.
A sump pump is a must for any home with a flood-prone basement, but some homes may need them more than others.
Signs that your home needs a sump pump include:
- Having a basement that has flooded before
- Living in an area that gets a lot of rain and snow
- Having a home in a low-lying area
- Your property has poor drainage
If you have a sump pump, you may also need a replacement if your current pump is over 10 years old or if it isn’t working properly despite receiving regular maintenance and repairs. If you have a basement that is prone to flooding and it’s raining hard enough to leave deep puddles outside, your sump pump should turn itself on. If it doesn’t, there’s something wrong with it, and you may need to replace it.
You also need to make sure that you have the right sump pump for your home. A 1/3 horsepower sump pump is enough for most homes, but you may need something more powerful if you have a deep basement or live somewhere with a high water table. Just be careful not to choose a sump pump that’s too big for your home, since it will cycle more often and could burn itself out faster. Our team can help you find the right sump pump for your home and install it properly.
