It seems as though every year in Seattle, we experience large amounts of rain that lead to flooding. Rain is simply part of living in this part of the country, so as a homeowner, you should be prepared to deal with it. To see if your home or property is located a in flood prone area of King County, you can view the flood hazards map.

One such way to prevent rainwater from flooding your home is by having a sump pump installed. These specialty pumps sit near the foundation of the house and whenever the water reaches a certain level, the pump activates and removes the water from the area.

If you have noticed water pooling near the foundation of your home, it is only a matter of time before it breaks through. Give Hunt’s Services a call at 253-533-7500 to see if a Seattle sump pump installation should be on your to-do list this year.

How a Sump Pump Works

In basic terms, a sump pump is placed in your basement, crawl space, or a specialty designed area outside of your home. It is linked to a basin that has been created with the purpose of collecting rain water. Any water that reaches the foundation of your home is diverted into this basin, where it sits until the water reaches a certain level.

Then, when the water gets to the right point, the pump system removes it from the dangerous area, ensuring that none of it is able to enter your home.

Maintaining Your Pump

Once your sump pumps have been installed, they will require a little bit of maintenance. You will have to make sure that they are always upright, as they won’t work properly if they fall over. In addition, the vent should be clear of debris and the battery should be replaced regularly. It might be wise to keep an extra battery on hand, just in case.

You should test your pump service periodically to make sure that it is working. If you find that it isn’t functioning the way that it should, Hunt’s Services can come by to have a look and, in most cases, repair it quickly and efficiently.

The weather in Seattle can do some strange things, but at least once you have your sump pump installed, you won’t have to worry about the rain damaging your home.
