Why you Need Sump Pump Installation?
What are the Benefits of Sump Pump Installation in Toronto, GTA and Beyond?
- Helps Prevent Flooding – a well-installed sump pump is one of the things that can help protect your basement from floods during snow melts, severe rainfall, and other severe weather episodes.
- Air Quality – sump pumps can help improve air quality in your home by reducing moisture levels.
- Mold & Mildew – a well-maintained sump pump will help decrease humidity in your basement, as a result, mold, mildew, and fungi are less likely to grow there.
- Insurance Savings – some insurance companies may give you a discount if your property has a sump pump.
The Importance of Sump Pump Maintenance
- Prevents Clogs – over time, debris such as leaves, dirt, and rocks can accumulate in the sump pit, potentially causing a clog. A clogged sump pump can lead to water backup and flooding, which can cause significant damage to your home.
- Reduces Wear & Tear – a sump pump that is clogged or dirty will have to work harder to remove water from the sump pit. This can cause increased wear and tear on the pump, reducing its lifespan and increasing the likelihood of a breakdown.
- Maintains Pump Performance – regular sump pump cleaning ensures that the pump operates at maximum efficiency, allowing it to remove water from the sump pit quickly and effectively.
- Improves Indoor Air Quality – a dirty sump pit can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria, which can negatively impact indoor air quality. Regular sump pump cleaning helps to prevent these issues.
- Saves Money – sump pump cleaning is a relatively inexpensive maintenance task that can help prevent costly repairs and water damage in the future.
Frequently asked questions
While both sump pumps and backwater valves are designed to prevent flooding and water damage, they serve different purposes and work in different ways.
A sump pump is installed in a sump pit in the basement or crawlspace of a home to collect excess water and pump it away from the building. The sump pit is typically dug into the ground and lined with gravel and a liner, and the sump pump is installed at the bottom of the pit. When water enters the pit, the pump turns on and pumps the water out through a discharge pipe. Sump pumps are typically used in areas with high water tables or where flooding is a concern.
On the other hand, a backwater valve is designed to prevent sewage backups into a home. It is installed in the main sewer line that connects a home’s plumbing system to the municipal sewer system. When sewage begins to back up into the main sewer line, the valve closes, preventing the sewage from flowing back into the home. Backwater valves are typically required by building codes in areas where the municipal sewer system is prone to backups.
No, a sump pump does not help prevent sewer backup. A sump pump is designed to collect and remove excess water from a home’s basement or crawlspace, typically from rainwater or groundwater. It is not designed to handle sewage, and it cannot prevent sewage backups.
To prevent sewage backups, a backwater valve is needed. A backwater valve is installed in the main sewer line that connects a home’s plumbing system to the municipal sewer system. When sewage begins to back up into the main sewer line, the valve closes, preventing the sewage from flowing back into the home. Backwater valves are required by building codes in many areas to help prevent sewage backups during heavy rainfall or flooding.
