Keep Your Basement Dry and Protected with a Reliable Sump Pump
If your basement is prone to water intrusion, a sump pump is your first line of defense. Even the best-built homes can experience water seeping in from outside — and that’s where a properly installed sump pump system comes in.
While the best time to install a sump pump is during construction, most homeowners add one later as part of a comprehensive basement waterproofing system. That’s where B-Dry can help — with professional installation and dependable protection that keeps your home dry year-round.
How a Sump Pump Works
A sump pump system consists of two main parts:
1. The sump basin/well
A sump basin (aka well) is a durable, cylindrical pit set below your basement floor. It collects groundwater that naturally seeps toward your foundation or from the attached French drain. Most residential wells are about two feet deep and 18 inches wide — just enough to efficiently gather and hold incoming water before it becomes a problem.
2. The sump pump
This is the hardworking component that actually removes the water. Most residential pumps range from 1/3 to 1/2 horsepower and can be powered by your home’s electrical system or by a reliable battery backup.
Modern sump pumps automatically activate when water levels rise — thanks to a built-in float switch. Once triggered, the pump uses centrifugal force to discharge water safely away from your home’s foundation.
Why a Sump Pump Matters
A high-quality sump pump keeps your basement dry, prevents foundation damage, and protects your home from costly repairs. Whether you’re dealing with minor seepage or frequent flooding, B-Dry installs the highest quality sump pumps designed for performance, durability, and peace of mind — even when you’re not home.
