What Are Crawl Space Sump Pumps?
It’s hard to know if your crawl space needs a sump pump when you don’t know what a sump pump is. A sump pump is a device that prevents your crawl space from flooding. The sump pump has a basin and a pump and sucks in water through a tube, bringing t away from your home. It’s critical to keep your crawl space and foundation dry because even a tiny amount of water can cause significant damage. A crawl space sump pump can also keep groundwater from pooling up under your crawl space and damaging your home’s foundation. They are often installed in the lowest part of your crawl space.

Sump Pump Maintenance Services
While sump pumps don’t require much maintenance, there are some things you can do to keep them working correctly. The team at Reliable Basement Services can also perform these sump pump maintenance tasks. Be sure your pump does not fall over. You should pour water in the sump pit occasionally to ensure it works. Be sure any water drains at least 20 feet from your foundation with no leaks. Use a GFCI outlet and ensure the pump stays plugged in. There is a grate on the bottom of the submersible pump. That grate should be cleaned, and any small stones should be removed. The discharge pipe’s vent hole should also be cleared. Many sump pumps have a built-in feature to alert you in case there are any issues.
