Unfortunately, when a flood disaster took place in J & K this year, which left thousands of people homeless in deep dirty water. To cope up with this situation a number of drainage pumps were donated to the forces as a mode of assistance for help. All those were of different sizes starting from small to big, which helped a lot in drying out the residential places. These pumps are capable to drain out water very fast and mostly are portable and handy.
Drainage pump manufacturers make it in such a way that they are normally installed in the lowest part of the basement and a PVC pipe is attached, through which water is drained out. The pipes has a check valve that stops the water from flowing back into the pit. In some situations these pumps can stop functioning:
Electrical failure:
If the power goes off, it won’t function. But, in this case you can opt for a battery operated pump.
Garbage in the pump:
Protect your pump from trash because dirt can damage the system easily. So, regular maintenance is required for it.
Last but not the least, these pumps start with electricity, and electricity goes out a lot during rainy season, it's suggested that you should have a battery backup while using.
