Sump pumps are the silent heroes of basements, and homes in general. Without any hoopla, they quietly protect your home from flooding, and living in California, you know basement flooding can happen quite easily.

Our professional plumbers at Flow Masters Plumbing, Inc. recommend keeping your sump pump regularly maintained to prevent any mishaps.
