A lot of homeowners are of the opinion that Sump pumps are designed to stop flooding that can be only caused due to heavy rainfall. In reality, there are plenty of homes that receive more snowfall than rain, and this results too in flooding. In fact, there are homeowners who keep telling pathetic incidents on warm breaks during the winter when snows melt and lead to heavy flooding in homes.

Now, if you have been fortunate in not having confronted such dangerous situations, you never know when you fall prey to it. Instead, if you can install a sump pump, you can save your home, especially the basement.
