If you’re one of the many Utah homeowners that are considering a sump pump installation, then this page will help you better understand why this is a worthy investment!
Countless Utah homeowners never think about their property experiencing a flood, but it’s of course very important for homeowners to always be considering every possibility! Northern Utah experiences sporadic, heavy storms throughout each year that can pretty easily result in basement water buildup; and sometimes the solution to these residential plumbing issues is a sump pump installation.
Sump pumps are very useful plumbing appliances that safely remove excess water away from your property’s foundation and basement levels, and they always go a long way in helping homeowners prevent flooding and all other types of structural damages.
Keeping your home safe from plumbing repairs is difficult enough for everyone, so here are some important reasons why you should consider getting a sump pump for your home:
4 Important Benefits Of A Sump Pump Installation
The Master Plumbers at Beehive Plumbing are here to support you and your household through all types of plumbing issues, and our specialists have decades of experience when it comes to sump pump installations.
Here are some of the benefits associated with sump pumps that you should know about:
Protecting Your Basement
One of the more obvious benefits associated with a sump pump installation is better ensuring that your basement/crawlspace levels are at a less likelihood of experiencing a flood. It’s also important for homeowners to understand that there actually are some inherent dangers associated with cleaning up flooded basements, including electrocution risks with standing water pools.
But one of the worst aspects of a flooded basement besides general labor time is the overall costs associated with these types of residential repairs. Repair costs will generally depend upon the overall size of the basement flood, but substantial floods can result in rather high restoration and clean up costs. These costs don’t even apply to other serious issues like ruined appliances, either.
So there’s definitely a ton of stress associated with even the potential of serious basement floods, and this stress can be avoided altogether through a sump pump installation!
Mildew/Mold Prevention
One of the most common effects of residential water damage is mildew/mold growth, which of course results in unpleasant smells and even potential health hazards.
This is why it’s extremely important to always reach out to the Beehive Plumbing team when you notice any mold growth spots within your home, and this is especially the case if you’re not exactly sure where the origins of the mold are.
Some of the common side effects of residential mold include things like wheezing, coughing and irritated eyes, so it’s always absolutely critical to prevent and treat these health hazards at all costs!
Saving Money
Sump pumps will always go a long way when it comes to helping homeowners prevent basement floods and all of the subsequent costs that go along with them, but many people don’t realize that sump pumps also prevent foundation damages that can actually end up being a lot more expensive than a flooded basement!
Water damage of any type can potentially be overwhelming for your property, and this is especially the case when it comes to wood, paint, sensitive appliances, etc.
So when you invest in a sump pump installation you are undoubtedly putting your property in a much safer position for the long-term future, and this is especially important for Northern Utah homeowners that live in the mountains and are at a rather high risk of flooding and other water damage repairs.
Protecting Your Home
Like we mentioned above, your property will be at an increased risk of foundation/basement damages when you don’t have a sump pump, and these types of water damages can potentially lead to other issues like pest infestation.
Many homes have several different electrical appliances within their basement areas, so a basement flood could even potentially lead to serious electrical fires!
