No homeowner wants to deal with a flooded basement. Unfortunately, in Caledonia—where rainstorms and snowmelt are common—flooding is a very real threat. That’s why more and more homeowners are choosing to install a sump pump as a smart, preventive solution.

Searching for “install sump pump Caledonia” means you’re thinking ahead—which is great news for your basement and your peace of mind. A sump pump is a simple yet powerful tool that collects and redirects groundwater away from your foundation, keeping your lower level dry and safe.
A sump pump is typically installed in a small pit (called a sump basin) in the lowest part of your basement or crawlspace. When excess water collects in the pit—usually during storms or rapid snowmelt—the pump automatically activates and pushes the water away from your home through a discharge pipe.
