Sump Pumps Explained
A sump pump could solve many of your problems if only you knew what it was and what it does. Mattioni is happy to explain the wonder of a sump pump and how it could benefit you.
A sump pump takes water in your basement or crawl space and moves it outside your home. It consists of a sump or a naturally constructed pit or hole carved below the main surface of your basement floor, which holds the sump pump. The pump, powered by battery or water, is fitted with a switch that can sense rising water levels or pressure. When the water rises and gets too high, sump pumps go to work to relieve the excess water from your space and away from your home.
Mattioni can help you decide which sump pump you need and install one. After installation, a Pennsylvania homeowner will most likely notice an improvement in indoor air quality because of reduced humidity levels and reduced risk of mold and mildew, protection against sewage backup, and, most of all, the prevention of basement or crawl space flooding.

Sump Pump FAQs
If you have a basement or crawl space in your Chester County home, a sump pump is important protection. These areas can flood unexpectedly and cause thousands of dollars of damage. Even if you have never had a flood, you must take measures to protect your home.
A sump pump motor can fail if the water entering the basin or pit comes in faster than the pump can pump it out. This causes continuous running, which means the motor fails. A pump with a larger motor will correct this problem, and partnering with a professional to install your pump will help you avoid this issue.
Sump pumps need to remain plugged in at all times. Even in winter, water can flow into the pit and flood your basement. In fact, melting snow is common for basement floods, so never unplug the unit.
A sump pump is always a wise investment, even if the basement rarely floods. When purchasing a home without one, make sure you realize that a sump pump is something you’ll want to add.
