Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Vacaville California

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are designed 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 set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is transported into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly 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 turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many new houses are geared up with sump pumps but 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.

Lots of sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's particularly essential that water is pumped away from your house.

If your home experiences a power blackout out for an extended duration, regular power interruptions or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
