Sump Pump Cover

A quality sump pump cover is a valuable part of your sump system. It will prevent objects from falling into the well and damaging the pump. The sump pump cover also prevents young children from playing in the basin, eliminating the chance of an accidental drowning. So installing a cover will not only keep your pump running longer, but also keep your children and pets safe. In some locations, the local building department might require a cover.

Air Tight Sump Pump Cover

Air tight covers seal the basin to prevent radon gas from leaking out into the basement or crawlspace. Whether or not the basin should be sealed to block out radon gas depends on whether or not there is a radon problem. The basement will need to be tested by a radon specialist or buy a test kit at a hardware store or home center.

If a dangerously high level of radon gas does exist, sealing the well would help alleviate the problem, but it won't completely cure it. Radon can enter a home from many places, including floor cracks, holes in the walls and floor drains.
