First, diagnose
In a Flint home with an aging footing-drain system, a sump pump often ends up doing the job the original drains no longer can.
The full scope
- Capacity built to cover a failed footing drain
- Battery backup for aging-grid power outages
- Discharge line freeze protection
- An alarm rather than relying on noticing failure
- Pit liner and valve condition checked
Worth noting locally
In homes with original 1980s-era footing drains, a Flint sump pump is frequently doing work the old drains no longer can.
