From safety and hygiene to money-saving and energy efficiency, installing a new sump pump can make a huge difference to your home, even if you do not invest in wider waterproofing measures. Here are the benefits you should be most aware of.
Prevent Dampness and Damage
Installing a sump pump, or upgrading an old sump pump system, has many benefits, but it primarily  protects your property, and your investment, from dampness and humidity by removing any water which enters your home quickly and efficiently. This effect is maximized when deployed as a part of a wider system, of course, but the right sump pump system can make a huge difference on its own.
By ensuring that water is not allowed to stand in your crawl space and stagnate, a sump pump will lower relative humidity and dampness by not allowing it to evaporate over time. This has a number of benefits, including a much reduced risk of damp-related issues like mold and mildew formation, wood rot, and condensation.
Increased Interior Climate Control
Once you install a new sump in your crawl space, you are likely to notice that the climate inside your home becomes more stable. Levels of relative humidity, temperature, and airflow will stabilize at a comfortable range for your home. There are many extra advantages to this benefit, however. First and foremost, a more stable environment is a more comfortable and efficient one.
Secondly, when the environment stabilizes, you will be able to tell if there is anything that needs to change. For example, if your home still has elevated levels of relative humidity or is generally cold, you will know that not all the problems in your property originated within your crawl space. This will also make identifying issues easier in the long run.
