Protection Against the Unthinkable
Sump pumps are often out of sight, out of mind — but they are vital to help prevent flooding
It’s still winter in Canada, but it’s time to start thinking about the spring thaw.
Spring will be here soon, and with it will come melting snow, rainy weather — and increased risk of flooding. Sump pumps are an important part of defense against spring flooding, but not just any pump will do. It’s important that the right system be installed for the circumstances, taking into account local water levels and seasonal trends that may impact the risk of spring waters seeping into basements.
“This is the time of year when homeowners should be planning to protect their homes from flooding, and plumbing experts can help guide them to the correct decisions,” says Mike Wills, Wolseley Canada National Category Manager for Hydronics, Pumps, Rough Plumbing and Tools. “Wolseley Canada has built a broad assortment of sump pumps that will work in almost any application, helping customers stay dry and beat flood season.”
Basements have evolved from a dark, musty place where we store things to an integral part of a home’s living space. A finished basement is a significant investment, and a flood can cause significant and costly damage — to walls, flooring, furnishings, home electronics and irreplaceable personal items and keepsakes.
