When the rain falls in Puyallup, you’ll be glad that you went ahead with a sump pump installation. In basic terms, a sump pump is a device that sits in your basement or crawl space and removes water from the foundation of your home, before it has a chance to infiltrate the basement.

Whenever a severe rainstorm hits the area, a risk of flooding exists. We have seen it all before and it is very important that you take the necessary precautions. You can think of a sump pump as being part of a basement waterproofing system that will protect your property well into the future.

If you have dealt with flooding in the past, make sure that you give Hunt’s Services a call at 253-533-7500. We will then send a certified technician to your home to evaluate your need for a sump pump and to go over your installation options.

Maintaining Your Sump Pump

Once you go ahead with our Puyallup sump pump services, you’ll have to make sure that the unit is properly maintained. It’s a good idea to have us come by at least once per year to have a look at your water pump to ensure that everything is functional.

Another thing to remember about sump pumps is that they have to be upright to work properly. Depending on where your pump is located, you should be able to handle this aspect on your own.

You’ll also want to make sure that there is no debris present in the vent and test the battery frequently to make sure that it is working. It’s a good idea to keep a spare battery in your home, just in case.
