Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Inglis Florida

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping problems as they are created 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 usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is transported into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

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

If your house experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged period, regular power outages or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that use your house's water supply pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can present numerous backup choices.
