Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Winter Haven Florida

Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking issues 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 usually set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is carried into a border drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds 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.

A lot of new houses 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 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 severe storm when it's specifically important that water is pumped away from your home.

If your house experiences a power outage out for an extended period, frequent power interruptions or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water supply pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can present numerous backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump routinely to make sure it will operate when the next big downpour occurs. Evaluate it by putting a container of water into the sump pit. 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, get rid of any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's performance and extend its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is free of blockages so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you don't want to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers professionals enjoys to help with your sump pump maintenance.
