Since sump pumps are used in basements and crawlspaces that are prone to flooding, making sure they are properly covered is a big part of installation. Wood covers, like this one in a Wilmington, DE home, are ineffective because they hold on to moisture in spaces that are not properly encapsulated. Replacing this sump pump with a SuperSump® will help keep moisture from being held in this basement. The plastic enclosure will help keep the pump from rusting and will not add wood rot to the basement like a wood covering.
