When you think about protecting your home, you might focus on locks, alarms, or smoke detectors—but one of the most important systems lies beneath your feet: the sump pump.

How a Sump Pump Protects Your Home

A sump pump is the unsung hero of your home’s foundation, especially if you have a basement. Its primary job? To efficiently remove excess groundwater around your foundation—24/7—keeping your basement dry, cool, and safe from water damage.

At Forbes Capretto Homes, we understand how crucial a dry basement is for your home's long-term comfort and structural integrity. That’s why every home we build comes standard with a ¾ horsepower sump pump—a powerful, durable system that handles heavy water flow, even during periods of heavy rain or snowmelt.

Protecting Your Basement, Protecting Your Investment

This isn’t an optional upgrade—it’s a standard feature. Because we believe that peace of mind should never come at a premium.

Whether you plan to use your basement as extra living space, a playroom, a home gym, or simply for storage, you can rest easy knowing it's protected from the unpredictable forces of nature. The sump pump works quietly behind the scenes, automatically detecting and redirecting groundwater away from your home’s foundation to prevent flooding, dampness, and moisture-related issues like mold or mildew.
