Always install a sump pump in your basements? 🤔

[Kyle Curtin]

Mooooornin’ BP!

We had an awesome virtual REI Unleashed National Networking meetup last night! I wanted to share one of the gems that I took from last night that I would love to hear your guys thoughts on.

We were talking about basements being flooded at one point during the call, and someone mentioned it is wise to always have a sump pump installed in your basement, because the cost of having one installed will be much more friendly than having to redo your basement in the event of a burst water heater (been there done that 😂), burst pipe, or a flood.

I like the concept behind it, and I completely understand essentially creating an insurance policy that you pay a little bit for upfront that can save you drastically more in the long run in the event that you needed it (hopefully you dont).

I am not sure about the cost for something like this but it is certainly making my gears turn!

Thoughts on this? 🤔

Happy Wednesday y’all!

Hi Kyle, 

Sump pumps can be helpful in basements that are likely to flood. A hole has to be dug, plumbing run (to relocate the displaced water) and the pump placed. 

They work best if your basement floor is not so dirty. The dirtiness matters as pumps can get clogged. 

And, definitely important if items are being stored in a basement - or heating systems such as boilers.
