Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Bullhead City Arizona

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are created to get rid of water from basements and crawlspaces.

What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is usually set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-new homes are equipped with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump installation and repair.

Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a severe storm when it's especially important that water is pumped away from your home.

If your home experiences a power failure out for an extended duration, frequent power interruptions or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that use your home's water supply pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can present numerous backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump frequently to make sure it will operate when the next big rainstorm occurs. Evaluate it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump should switch on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Make sure that the float and the check valve move easily.
