Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Tampa Florida


Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are designed 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 usually installed at the most affordable sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is carried into a perimeter drain system installed 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, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump installation 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 geared up with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

A Midwest Plumbers plumbing can provide several backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump regularly to make sure it will operate when the next big rainstorm happens. Evaluate it by putting a container of water into the sump pit. The pump must switch on, get rid of 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, get rid of any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's efficiency and lengthen 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.
