What Is a Sump Pump and Why It Matters

A sump pump is critical for preventing basement flooding and water damage. Installed in a pit at the lowest point of your home, it automatically removes groundwater before it can cause costly issues. Especially in areas like Kelowna, Vernon, and the Okanagan, where heavy rain or snowmelt can raise the water table, a sump pump helps keep your home safe, dry, and structurally sound.

Key benefits of a sump pump:

  • Protects basements and crawlspaces from flooding
  • Prevents mold, mildew, and musty odors
  • Reduces risk of foundation damage
  • Automatically activates during heavy rain or rising groundwater
  • Adds long-term value and protection to your property

Signs You Need a Sump Pump or Repair

Are you unsure if your home needs a sump pump or if your current system works correctly? Several warning signs indicate it’s time to consider installation or repair. Ignoring these can lead to severe water damage and costly repairs.

Common signs include:

  • Water pooling or damp spots in the basement or crawlspace
  • Musty odors, mold, or mildew growth
  • Sump pump constantly running or short cycling
  • Unusual noises coming from the pump
  • Basement flooding during heavy rain or snowmelt
  • The pump fails to turn on or remove water effectively
  • Visible rust, damage, or electrical issues with the unit

If you notice any of these issues, Bee’s Knees can help with a professional inspection and honest recommendation for repair or replacement.
