Effective Water Removal

Standing water is an issue many homeowners in Central Illinois and beyond encounter in their basements. As heavy rainfall soaks the ground, water will begin to accumulate around the foundation and under the basement floor of a home, and it can find its way into the home creating numerous water-related problems. The purpose of a sump pump and sump pump basin is to allow water to seep into the basin and the sump pump pump the water out away from the home, relieving hydrostatic pressure beneath the floor and around the foundation, helping eliminate water intrusion that causes a wet basement. Exterior or interior drain tiles such as a basement dewatering system may also direct water into it. Sump pumps may often be a first course of action against water intrusion and hydrostatic pressure, but if it doesn’t solve the problem, a complete dewatering system may be needed.

For those struggling to keep their basement or crawl space dry, a sump pump installation from Force Basements may provide much-needed relief. Sump pumps are an essential part of any basement whether a dewatering  system is installed or not, effectively moving water out of the house year-round even during the heaviest rainstorms, keeping basements dry and comfortable and setting homeowners’ minds at ease. Our sump pump options range from 1/3 Hp to 1/2 Hp that are sold individually or ask about our combo system that is equipped with a battery back up.
