Keep on Pumpin’

Good advice if you’re a sump pump and you are protecting someone’s home in Spokane or Coeur D’alene.  You are the difference between a clean, dry home and an unmitigated disaster!  A sump pump system consists of four major parts: a ground water collection system, a sump tank, a pump, and an outlet drain.

Here are the basics of how they work.  Water is carried to the sump pump tank that is buried in the basement floor.  The sump tank, which is also called a “basin,” a “crock,” or a “sump pit”. It may be made of clay, tile, steel, concrete, fiberglass, or polyethylene.  Though they vary in size, standard tanks are about 18 inches in diameter and 2 to 3 feet deep.
