Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Pacifica California


Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping problems as they are designed to eliminate 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 installed at the most affordable sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is carried into a border drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

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

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's particularly important that water is pumped far from your house.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump frequently to make sure it will run when the next huge downpour takes place. Evaluate it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump must switch on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Guarantee that the float and the check valve move easily.
