Why Evanston Homes Need a Sump Pump Even Without a History of Flooding

You can’t just use past flooding history to decide whether your home needs a sump pump because even Evanston homes that have never had basement flooding can still benefit from having a sump pump installed. A sump pump can protect your home if you have:

• A high water table
• Slow-draining or clay soil
• A poorly graded lot
• No exterior drainage system
• Evidence of moisture (musty smell, mineral deposits on flooring, damp air, foundation cracks)
• Neighbors that have experienced flooding

Remember, it doesn’t take much water to cause significant home damage. Even an inch of water in a finished basement can cost thousands of dollars of repairs.

A sump pump will not only protect your home from basement flooding but also protect your foundation and important home appliances like your HVAC system. Additionally, by keeping water outside where it belongs, your possessions and your family will be protected because the water needed for mold growth won’t be allowed in. With a sump pump you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your home is protected.
