HOME INSPECTION SUMP PUMP PROBLEMS

House Inspection Problems - Sump Pump

Sump Pump - A sump pump's pit is supposed to be at least two feet deep to assure that the rising ground water will be pumped to the exterior before it can enter the basement. This pump pit was only 9 inches deep which allowed water to penetrate the basement floor. The cost to make the pit deeper was only a few hundred dollars but a very important repair because it saved the foundation from some very expensive repairs.
