Sump Pump & Pit Assessment & Mitigation

Assessing Your Sump Pump & Pit


Most homeowners have sump pumps in their respective basements or crawl spaces to help prevent these areas from becoming flooded during periods of wet weather. If you reside in the Dallas Metroplex, JDR Restoration & Remodeling can provide all the sump pump and pit assessment services you need.


What Is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a device that pumps water from your basement or crawl space to the outside of your home. The pit is a naturally dug hole that holds the sump pump. The sump pump has a sensor on it that automatically turns the pump on when the water level reaches a certain level.

Emergency Sump Pump Mitigation

When a sump pump isn’t functioning correctly, you run the risk of a flooded basement or crawl space, which can lead to a host of issues such as mold growth and wood rot. The moment you notice a problem with your sump pump, you need more than a plumber's repairs. It is also vital to call a reputable professional to mitigate any damage.
