Water pumps or
flood pumps are often overlooked by flood companies. At Bonhoeffer Machines we
always highlight the importance of water pumps because no matter what type of
barrier you use, a certain amount of water will almost always seep into the
protected area (even through brick walls), or in the case of rain, fall behind
a barrier.
Sump pumps are
fantastic in flood defence schemes, but they must be submerged in water to
function correctly. They are often permanently wired in and installed into
sumps. When coupled with an automatic float switch, they are perfect for
passive flood defence schemes. Bonhoeffer is the
leading supplier of Submersible Pumps.
Sump pumps are
very good at dealing with groundwater flooding, seepage, and rainfall. They
allow the groundwater and floodwater to be drained away effectively. Sump pumps
generally have higher flow rates than puddle pumps. Unlike a puddle pump, a
submersible pump cannot run dry and requires pre-installation work with a
chamber.
Groundwater
flooding is not yet well understood, but it is where periods of high rainfall
fill the water table resulting in the flooding of basements or groundwater
appearing at the surface, which can add to or cause flooding. This is usually
common when the ground is low-lying or near to a watercourse.
Sump pumps can
help deal with groundwater flooding, helping to keep your property dry.
