Hurricane Sandy Proves Importance Of Yard Drainage
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the importance of proper yard drainage and sump pumps has become clear. We sympathize with those who experienced Sandy’s destruction. We have also noticed the appreciation for sump pumps, finding several YouTube videos of sump pumps in action during the storm and forums expressing relief over the use of battery back-up sump pumps.
The use of battery backup sump pump systems helped save many homes from costly flood damages. While the storm caused horrific damage, we see an opportunity to prepare for the future. Thankfully we don’t have to worry about hurricanes in Kansas City, but we certainly do have to worry about flash floods, torrential downpours, etc. Your home’s sump pump is a line of defense against approaching water. Take a look at the benefits of having a sump pump.
- Protect your Goods – A safeguarded basement will prevent damages to storage or living spaces.
- Improved Health – When water invades your home, mold is able to grow and spread. This can irritate allergies and cause respiratory problems. Guard your family from these health risks by ensuring your basement is watertight.
- Protect your Investment – Your home is probably your largest investment. Installing a sump pump will protect your real estate investment and make selling your house easier when the time comes.
The benefits of a sump pump may not be easy to see when all is sunny and dry. We may not need to worry about hurricanes in the middle of the country, but when a natural disaster does strike, you will be glad you prepared.
