Keeping the basement dry through the spring thaw
When the snow melts and the spring rain comes, groundwater rises. A working sump pump keeps that water out of your basement.
Why spring is the test
Months of snow melt fast here in northern Michigan. The ground gets saturated and water finds its way in. Your sump pump runs hard right when you need it most.
Check it before the melt
Pour a bucket of water in the pit and make sure the pump kicks on. Listen for odd sounds. If it is old or slow, replace it before spring.
Add a backup
A battery backup keeps the pump running during a power outage, which often comes with spring storms. We install pumps and backups so your basement stays dry.
Quick tips from our crew
- Test the pump with a bucket of water before the spring melt.
- Add a battery backup for outages during spring storms.
- Keep the pit clear of gravel and debris.
