Crawl Space Sump Pump
Crawl spaces are below grade, making them susceptible to water seepage and flooding. That’s why a crawl space sump pump is indispensable in preventing standing water in your crawl space.
What is a crawl space sump pump?
A sump pump is a device that is installed in the lowest point of a crawlspace to remove water that collects in a sump basin.
The basin is like a bucket with holes drilled into it and is situated at the end of French drain lines.
How are sump pumps installed?
- A hole is dug at the lowest point of the crawlspace at the end of French drainage lines.
- The sump pump basin is inserted.
- The basin is surrounded with gravel.
- A submersible pump is installed into the basin.
- A discharge pipe is installed through the foundation wall and ends at least 20 feet from the home.
- The power is connected and tested.
What are the benefits of a sump pump?
A crawl space sump pump prevents water from pooling in your crawlspace, so having one decreases the risk of mold, erosion, and wood rot.
