Install a Sump Pump to Remove Standing Water
Remove excess water from flooding your crawl space
Sump Pumps are small submersible pumps that sit inside a sump basin are are surrounded by gravel. By placing a sump pump at the lowest point in your crawl space it allows any excess water to be automatically detected and mechanically pumped out of the crawl space via a drain line to the exterior of the home.
Sump Pumps do not address moisture in the air but are excellent for removing excess water caused by drainage issues, heavy rainfall, seasonal flooding or other events that can flood your crawl space. When water is detected a float mechanism activates the sump pump and it turns on automatically to actively push water from the basin.
