Combating Unwanted Water Build-Up With Powerful Pumps

Water pumps are often used to collect water that can then be used for a variety of purposes, such as irrigation or deployment in a heating system. However, pumps can also be used to get rid of unwanted bodies of water and other liquids. Here at Anglian Pumping Services, we believe our pumps are a great way to deal with a wide range of problems relating to unwanted water. Of course, you can hire our professionals to pump away undesirable bodies of liquid. However, investing in a pump of your own is often quicker and more cost-effective.

You may be wondering what bodies of liquid our pumps can be used to dispose of. In today’s blog, we’ll talk about some of the problems that can be resolved using water pumps.

1. Flooded basements

Heavy-rain, melting snow and ground-water seepage can all cause basements to flood. It’s easy for water to collect in basements because they’re the lowest point in any given property. Luckily, water can be pumped out of basements quite easily. Just remember that you’ll need a fairly powerful pump, particularly if there’s mud and other thick fluids in the water

2. Stagnant or unwanted ponds

Do you have a pond containing stagnant water on your property? If so, you can use a pump to get rid of it. We suggest using a submersible pump, as ponds can sometimes be quite deep. Submersible pumps are one of the fastest ways to get rid of deep water. Of course, when you’ve finished pumping, you may need to fill in the depression in the ground where the pond used to be. Water is likely to collect there again if you don’t.

3. Water collected on the ground

If the ground around your home can’t absorb water properly, it can collect on the surface. It can cause problems if it is left there. It might stagnate or cause water damage to your property. Pumping it away is easy, however.

Water pumps aren’t just for collecting water for specific uses. They are ideal for getting rid of unwanted bodies of liquid.
