Do you utilize a small sump pump to keep moisture from saturating your basement? The size is not the determining factor when purchasing or replacing a sump pump, there are many models on the market, from simple and compact to larger with many features. Sump pumps are designed to keep water off the basement floor. When choosing a sump pump make sure to account for how many gallons per hour you will need the pump to flow in order to move the water efficiently. A standard 110 volt pump will work for most homes. No matter the conditions, a pump that can push 3,000 gallons per hour is big enough for homes.
