Pumps to Remove Water From Your Basement

It’s crucial to invest in sump pumps to remove excess water from your basement. When you purchase a flooded basement ejector pump, you can eliminate hazards and ensure your home is safe and free of flooding.

At Star Water Systems, we have a comprehensive selection of pumps you can use to remove water from your basement reliably and efficiently.

Dangers of Water in Your Basement

Flooded basements pose many hazards and safety risks to homeowners and their belongings, including:

  • Mold and mildew: Flooded basements create a damp environment ideal for mold, mildew and fungus growth. Exposure to these microbes can cause serious health risks, such as respiratory issues, rashes and eye irritation.
  • Structural damage: Water can compromise your home’s structural integrity, cracking your foundation and eroding wooden supports and beams.
  • Property damage: Basement flooding can lead to significant property damage, destroying walls, floors and any belongings stored in your basement.
  • Electrical failure: Water can damage your electrical appliances and outlets, causing system failure and electrocution risks.
  • Pests: Insects and rodents are attracted to dark, damp spaces like wet basements, bringing pests into your home.

Steps to Remove Water From Your Basement

If your basement is flooded, you can prevent significant damage by following these steps.

1. Stay Safe

Water in your basement can generate sewage, cause structural damage and increase your risk of electrocution. When navigating your basement, be sure to wear rubber boots, stay dry and avoid wet electrical devices and wires.

If water is covering your electrical outlets, be sure to cut their corresponding power sources before coming into contact with the water. If water is in the way of the main breakers, call a professional for assistance.

2. Identify the Source

Once you’re certain your basement is safe, locate the source of the flooding. Common causes of water buildup include:

  • Heavy rainfall or melting snow.
  • Foundational cracks.
  • Improper wall or floor sealing.
  • Leaking pipes.
  • Malfunctioning sewer system.
  • Faulty sump pump.

3. Pump Out Water of a Basement Using a Sump Pump

Sump pumps are ideal for removing water from a flooded basement. These devices pump excess water away from your home and transport it to a sewage system or septic tank.

Some of the many benefits of residential sump pumps include:

  • Preventing flooding.
  • Repelling mold and mildew.
  • Reducing the risk of fires.
  • Protecting electrical appliances.
  • Fending off pests.
