Water in a basement in New Zealand should be removed by a sump pump as quickly as possible. Water in basements cause damp which leads to long term damage. A basement can be a very useful place but if it is damp and dingy, it is not going to be useful for anything. It is also going to be a health hazard and will cost more money in the long run to fix. It makes sense to get a sump pump, hired or bought, to remove the water quickly and efficiently.

A dry basement over a wet basement

The reason sump pump makers in New Zealand are so successful is that they know the benefits of a dry basement. A basement that is in good condition can be used for a number of things. It can be office space, it can be a workshop or an art studio, it can be a laundry, it can be a space for teenagers to hang out, it can be a living room, a family room or anything really. And while basements can be susceptible to damp, they are under the ground after all, the damp and any extra water can be, and must be, dealt with quickly and professionally.

A sump pump, and they come in different sizes and in a variety of brand, can be hired or it can be bought. If you experience a once off problem, then hiring makes sense. If you have a constant issue in your basement, of course it makes sense to buy a sump pump.
