Sump pumps are automated devices that extract groundwater from sump pits, typically found in basement areas. Their primary function is to remove water accumulated in the pit, collected from a perimeter drainage system installed to prevent basement flooding. Serving as the initial defense against basement water damage, sump pumps are available in various models, each differing in construction materials and performance specifications. To ensure comprehensive basement protection, we strongly advise adding a battery backup system to your primary setup as an additional line of defense. This backup system provides continuous protection, even during power outages. At Mr. Fix It Pumps, we’ve simplified the process of obtaining complete system protection by offering fully assembled combination systems that are pre-plumbed and drop-in-ready for effortless installation.
