Sump pumps are installed to prevent basements, which are usually the lowest points in a building, from flooding. They flush out surplus water, which, if left ignored, can cause significant flooding.
Sump pumps are usually installed within specially-dug pits. They are installed on floors that form the base (lowest floor) of the building.
Whether you are a business or home, a sump pump is essential to protect your property and occupants from water damage. Here are some ways how installing a well-designed sump pump offers lasting benefits:
They Prevent Water Flooding in Basements and Crawlspaces
Sump pumps keep crawlspaces and basements dry. Excess water can accumulate in building basements after heavy rains. One of the reasons for this flooding is the overflowing of sanitary drains.
Heavy rains can cause a building’s sewage system to overflow. This causes sewage water to flow back into the basement, resulting in water flooding.
Sump pumps help keep basements dry during other weather conditions too. They prevent underground water from accumulating around and under the basement.
Sump pumps are designed to identify a surplus water discharge when the pit in which they are installed starts reaching its maximum capacity. A pipe connected to the pump directs the drained water outside. This excess water drains off over the slope built around your home or office building.
Goulds sump pumps and Myers sump pumps have been used for excess water-pumping applications for many years now.
If you are looking for the most efficient and reliable sewage pumps in the market, then Myers DS model sump pumps may interest you. The DS model has been designed to handle both commercial and residential sewage applications.
Sumps of the DS series are high-capacity models with an efficient and durable motor. They feature a power range that enables these pumps to handle different sewage applications with efficiency.
The Myers model - WHR5-01-DS – in particular, is exclusively built to handle stringy solids without damaging the impeller.
Giving you the best value for money is its double seal motor configuration, which adds to motor life enormously.
Other key highlights of the Myers WHRS-01-DS sump pump model:

· Steady and permanent bearing lubrication and maintenance of efficient cooler operation
They Prevent Formation of Mold and Mildew
Wet basements and crawlspaces can attract mold and mildew. These fungi make your home or office building unsightly. Exposure to the fungi also causes a range of health risks. These include nasal congestion, wheezing, cough, and irritation of the eyes and the throat. Prolonged exposure can also cause skin irritation, cough, sneezes, and extreme allergic sensitivity in some people.
Using a sump pump can prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Homes and business owners can protect their family and employees, respectively, from the health risks of mold exposure.
The use of sump pumps, in particular the submersible variety, is increasing given their efficiency to drain excess water.
Submersible pumps are being preferred over pedestal varieties for their increased efficiency and reliability. Submersible varieties are usually installed in areas that have more sump basin space.
Submersible pumps come with a sump lid, which covers the sump pit. This covering minimizes pump noise when it is working. It also prevents the accumulation of debris from the outside inside the pit.
The sump covering also prevents moist air from escaping into your residential or commercial environment, giving you extra protection against mold and mildew.
