Excess water and moisture is collected in a sump basin or sump chamber, and safely pumped away with a sump pump. These are commonly found in the basement of homes.

Basement pumps are usually hardwired into the home’s electrical system, but can also feature a battery backup alarm structure which continues to work in the case of a power cut. The high level alarm can alert you to problems and avoid major floods going unnoticed.

They provide homeowners with mind and protect home owners against flooding, provides a defence against mould and extreme weather.
