Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Palm Springs North Florida

Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve 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 generally installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is channeled into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new homes are equipped with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation 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 throughout a serious storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

If your house experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged period, frequent power failures or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water supply pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.

Sump Pump Maintenance

The pump must switch on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Ensure that the float and the check valve move freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's performance and extend its life.
