It seems as though every year in Seattle, we experience large amounts of rain that lead to flooding.

To see if your home or property is located a in flood prone area of King County, you can view the flood hazards map.

One such way to prevent rainwater from flooding your home is by having a sump pump installed. These specialty pumps sit near the foundation of the house and whenever the water reaches a certain level, the pump activates and removes the water from the area.

How a Sump Pump Works

In basic terms, a sump pump is placed in your basement, crawl space, or a specialty designed area outside of your home. It is linked to a basin that has been created with the purpose of collecting rain water. Any water that reaches the foundation of your home is diverted into this basin, where it sits until the water reaches a certain level.

Then, when the water gets to the right point, the pump system removes it from the dangerous area, ensuring that none of it is able to enter your home.
