Discover the Power of a Maintained Sewer Pump and Its Ability to Prevent Water Damage
You know those people who are always well prepared no matter the situation? Well, I wasn’t one of them until experience made me become one of them. Moving to a new place is always exciting, even despite all the sleepless nights planning and packing, the hassle with transport, loading, unloading and unpacking. Once you get to the step of inhabiting the other place, little by little you begin to settle in and make it your home. There was nothing I didn’t like about my new home, and I can say the same about my family with certainty. We fell in love with the house itself, the neighbourhood, the amazing view and our backyard; it felt as if we’ve always been part of it all.
Days and months were passing, and we’d finished with furnishing as well as some interior and backyard decorating then a bit of maintenance and fixing here and there and it didn’t take long for all of us to get caught up in the same old pattern every day, being preoccupied with daily schedules, tasks and chores. Just as it was all idyllic, some terrible smell, kind of like a sewer, appeared in the basement which indicated something was going on. Much to our dismay the whole basement was flooded. Though there had been some heavy rains the days before, it didn’t occur to us we’d have this kind of situation at hand just two years after moving in. Who would have thought the problem would be greater and was to do with sewer pumps. We had our doubts but all of them came in second once seeing all that water.
After painstaking joint efforts to get that wastewater out and clean the place, we called in a specialist to look into the basement just in case. It was good we did so because we would have continued thinking it was rain that caused all this. The problem, as our primary concern was confirmed, lay in the sewer pump that we’d forgotten to maintain. All that negligence resulted in a blockage thanks to piled up cooking grease and that created an inflow from the roof drains. We immediately made the decision to take a look at the sewer pumps available for sale, made the purchase and installation all over thus got our peace of mind back.
Getting that surprise fresh start turned me into a more responsible person who doesn’t just wait for an accident to happen but takes care of preventing it well before. Apart from doing the necessary cleaning and making sure no solid debris makes it to the pumps, it’s advisable to get an insurance in case of flooding with “Broad Water” coverage.
