So you live in Los Angeles, in a home with a basement, and your plumber has suggested that you invest in a good sump pump. What on earth is a sump pump anyway? Well it might be one of the best and most cost saving investments you could ever make! And trust us, after just one use, it will have saved you much more than the small original investment price of the pump.

So what exactly is a sump pump? Simply put, a sump pump is a small pump that will pump out any standing water that collects in your basement. In the event that your basement is flooded after a heavy storm, naturally rising ground water, or in one of those really horrible cases where your plumbing backs up and begins to collect in the basement, the sump pump will suck all that water out and send it away where it is no longer a problem. Without a sump pump installed in your basement, you are taking a risk that could cost thousands in additional repair if standing water is not removed as quickly as possible in any of the above situations. Not only is your property and possessions much more likely to be damaged beyond repair, but the health risks involved with standing water, and even more with standing sewage, make owning a sump pump an additional insurance policy for any homeowner with a basement a common sense necessity.
Los Angeles weather, threats of earthquakes, location near the ocean, and aging public sewer systems are all serious reasons that any homeowner who has a basement should seriously consider investing in a sump pump. Your property, possessions and most importantly, the health of your loved ones are at risk if you allow any kind of standing water to remain for too long in your basement.
