Sump pump

Installing a sump pump in an old house can have several pros and cons. The pros include preventing extensive water damage to your home and possessions from flooding and other water intrusions and protecting the foundation of your home from water damage, which can create cracks and other issues throughout the house [1][2]. Additionally, a sump pump can increase the resale value of your home. On the other hand, the cons of installing a sump pump include the cost of installation and maintenance. Furthermore, if the sump pump fails during a storm or other emergency, your home may still be vulnerable to water damage [3][4]. It is important to consider both the pros and cons and consult with a professional before deciding to install a sump pump in your old house [5].
