BENEFITS OF A SEWAGE PUMP

1. BENEFITS OF A SEWAGE PUMP Sewage pumps are designed to remove wastewater from low lying areas such as a basement where water builds up. It pumps it up and out into the wastewater system of the house or building it is installed in. Of course, the concept is a very elementary one however, the installation itself is significantly more complex. The benefit they pose is that they save homeowners and property managers thousands of dollars in damage from mishaps such as: Flood Damage – When hurricanes and other weather systems dump tons of water in a short period, flooding is a real possibility. Basements, since they are usually located at or below ground level, tend to take on lots of water when this happens. It’s not unrealistic for your basement to end up with over 12 inches of water quite quickly. However, with a sewage pump, that crisis can be averted—protecting your foundation and any valuables in the basement. Mold and Mildew Growth – When you have constant moisture and humidity inside a basement from stagnant water pools—mold and mildew develop. This is not only detrimental to drywall and wood but your respiratory health as well. If you have a sewage pump, you mitigate the chances of water build- up, reducing the chance of mold and mildew growth. Fire – If you get water buildup in the basement it will short out appliances such as washer and dryers or your water heater. Aside from having to replace these household appliances, the short can also trigger a fire. However, with a sewage pump, again—no water build-up, so you avoid the possibility of electrical fires. www.pumpsupplies.co.uk
