from flooding by pumping away groundwater that
accumulates around the house. Take a look at this

SUMP PUMP TIPS INSTALL PUMP ON AN ISOLATED
CIRCUIT. Sump Pumps should always have their own,
individual electrical circuit. This prevents fire
hazards. DONT ALLOW CHILDREN NEAR YOUR
PUMP. Because of the possibility of
electrocution, children should never play around
Sump Pumps! ALWAYS HAVE A BATTERY BACK UP SUMP
PUMP. Since primary Sump Pumps run off of
electricity, its smart to consider a back up
pump for your home. The back-up is only needed
when theres a power outage, in which time it
will automatically kick in and provide the
electricity needed for the pump!

DONT UNDEER- ESTAMATE THE WEATHER! Just because
your home stayed safe from flooding in the past,
doesnt mean it will in the future .Being
prepared is the best way to counter expensive
flood damages. DONT TRY AND FIX IT
YOURSELF! Dont try and fix your own sump pump if
it begins to show signs that it ist pumping
properly. Avoid pouring any chemicals into your
pump to clear it. Call the professionals! CALL A
SPECIALIST! Have a professional take a look at
your home to help you decide which Sump Pump is
the best option for you!
