Sump Pumps 101: Protect Your Home from Spring Flooding

Spring showers can lead to water accumulation around your home, increasing the risk of basement flooding. A sump pump is your best defense, efficiently removing excess water from your basement or crawl space. At Boyer Plumbing, we provide expert sump pump services, including installation, maintenance, and repairs, to keep your home dry and safe.

How Does a Sump Pump Work? Sump pumps are installed in a sump pit at the lowest point of your basement. When water collects in the pit, the pump automatically activates, directing water away from your home’s foundation to prevent flooding.

Benefits of a Sump Pump

• Flood Prevention: Protects your basement and belongings from water damage.
• Mold and Mildew Prevention: Keeps your basement dry, reducing the risk of mold growth.
• Foundation Protection: Prevents water accumulation that can weaken your home’s foundation over time.



Sump Pump Maintenance Tips

• Test your sump pump regularly by pouring water into the pit.
• Clean the pump and pit to prevent debris buildup.
• Check the discharge line to ensure water flows away from your home.
