Keep your basement dry with a sump pump

Rooms that sit below ground level, where the water table is above the foundation, will need a sump pump. This pump will move water that has collected in the basement basin and move it to where the water will no longer be problematic. Sears has both pedestal and submersible sump pumps, so you can choose the one that will work best in your home.

Whether you want a stainless steel sump pump or a thermoplastic model, Sears has both. Find discharge hose kits that will give you an alternative to permanent piping, as well. These kits work on both pedestal and submersible models. Should a pipe break and the water is rushing out faster than your sump can pump it out, grab a water shutoff wrench to stop the flow, and let your pump clear out the standing water.

Investing in a durable sump pump is the only way you'll be sure that your basement will stay dry. When a huge storm hits, you'll be glad to hear the hum of your sump pump kicking on and saving your valuable rugs and carpet from damage. Sears has a wide variety of sump pump models that will suit any home's needs.
