Sump Pumps

It is estimated that 90 to 95 percent of all basements in the Nashville area will experience a problem at some time with water penetration that something as simple as a sump pump could have prevented. For every inch of rain, the average roof sheds 1,000 gallons of water. Even one inch of water can take many hours to clean up and causes thousands of dollars in damaged furniture and carpets. Sump pumps are responsible for pumping excess ground water from the basement or crawl space to the outside of your home. Installing a sump pump in your basement is your best defense to prevent flooding.
