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 point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit.

A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-new homes 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 professionals at sump pump installation and repair.
