A
sump pump - half the battle
February
10th, 2006
The nuisance of water in a
basement seems to have a simple solution. Stop at the
local hardware shop, pick up a sump
pump, installation of
the sump pump, and voila! Unfortunately, sump pumps are
only half the battle.
Basement water typically comes from 2 locations.
The main culprit is called the cove area (where
the floor and wall meet). Additionally, water
can come through cracks in the basement floor.
Basement sump pumps will collect water, but only when the
water is directed to the sump pump. To keep your basement
from getting wet, a drainage system needs to be attached
to lead the water to the sump pump.
