Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Hialeah Florida

Did you understand? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking 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 typically set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is funnelled into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the closest 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 brand-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 setup 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 equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped away from your home.

If your home experiences a power failure out for an extended duration, regular power outages or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that use your home's supply of water pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
