Sump Pump Drainage
Setting up for proper drainage protects your basement from water damage. A wet basement can lead to costly consequences including carpet replacement, repainting, replacing doors or walls, and eventually the need for mold removal.
It is recommended to pump water at least 10 feet away from your foundation and 20 feet away when possible. Make sure not to dump water on your neighbor’s property, feed directly into the sewer system, or direct water near septic tanks.
Problems With Home Sump Pumps
There are many problems that home owners experience with their sump pumps. One of the most common is drainage trouble which directly corresponds with a power outage. When mother nature is fierce enough to cause flooding, it is often damaging enough to knock out the power as well. This is a recipe for disaster for those who use sump pumps running off electricity from the house. We recommend that you switch to a battery-powered back up sump pump.
Maintaining a clean sump pump is also of high importance, being sure to check the screens and other openings for clogs on a regular basis. Releasing compressed air near the check valve and ensuring that the switch float is freely floating inside are also recommended solutions for those common problems.
Backup Home Sump Pumps
Just like in many other facets of life, it is never a bad idea to have a backup. Whether you are turning to a water pressure sump pump or a battery-powered option, a backup is an excellent protective measure for what is most likely the largest investment in your life.

Luckily for us, we called ASAP Waterproofing…
“Growing up my husband and I never had a sump pump, so we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into. We had no idea that if we didn’t maintain it, it could flood our basement. After we had a huge snowstorm and it all started to melt, I was startled when I walked downstairs and stepped into 3 feet of water. Later, I was told that it was probably because we didn’t relieve the sump pump when the power was out for a long time. Luckily for us, we called ASAP Waterproofing and they came out and repaired the damage and told us what we needed to do to prevent this from happening again.” Kerry Chapelgate, Glen Burnie, MD |
