sump pumps: Wet Basement - Sump Pump??
- 03/28/11 04:42 AM
A sump pump is a drainage-tile system that is placed under the floor of your basement that channels water into a pit. Some houses (depending on location, climate conditions, and building structure) have an unavoidable problem with flooding due to natural weather and environmental conditions. A sump pump helps channel that water to a designated area other than your home. Sometimes water in your basement is a result of other issues that need to be addressed-for-example, your gutters might be clogged or the downspout are allowing pools of water to build up too close (big problem on many of my inspections) (0 comments)
