Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Firestone Colorado

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are designed to remove 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 normally set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is carried into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, eliminates 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.

The majority of new homes are geared up with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump installation and repair work.

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped away from your home.

If your home experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged period, regular power interruptions or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage.
