Why Do I Need a Sump Pump?
This is most common question we get when estimating a crawl space repair.

A sump pump is the most reliable way to remove water from a crawl space, basement or even a low spots in the yard. The Pump sits 2 feet below grade (surface) in a pit surrounded by gravel. As water moves through the ground, it follows a path of least resistance. The gravel provides this path, and becuase the pump is down 2 feet below the surface, water easily flows into the pit and the pump lifts it up and out away from the area.

The foundation tiles -
These are the pipes, surrounded by gravel that run along the inside of your crawl space. The pipe should be set at just below the top of the footer wall. (the footer is the concrete poured, that your home sits on)... The pipes run around the inside of the crawl space collecting any water that comes through the foundation wall. The water flows freely to the sump pit and the sump pump lifts the water up and discharges it outside to the downspout drain or other drain leading away from the house.

So, Do you need a sump pump?
If you have a wet crawl space or basement, the answer is YES!
