Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Pelican Bay Florida

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are created 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 generally installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is directed into a boundary 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. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most 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 experts at sump pump installation and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Lots of 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 specifically important that water is pumped away from your home.

If your house experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged period, regular power interruptions or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that use your house's water supply pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can provide several backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump routinely to make sure it will run when the next huge rainstorm occurs. Check it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to switch on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Guarantee that the float and the check valve relocation freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's efficiency and prolong its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is free of blockages so that water can be pumped through the line and out of your basement or crawlspace. If you do not want to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers experts enjoys to assist with your sump pump maintenance.

If your sump pump is not working, hire the specialists at Midwest Plumbers to examine the circumstance.
