Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Greenacres California

Did you understand? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking problems as they are developed 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 typically installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is channeled into a border drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation and repair work.

Lots of sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a severe storm when it's particularly important that water is pumped away from your home.
