Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Hogansville Georgia

Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are created 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 generally installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts 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 guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped away from your house.

If your house experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged period, frequent power interruptions or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's supply of water pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing can provide a number of backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump regularly to make sure it will operate when the next huge rainstorm occurs. Check it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to 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, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's effectiveness and prolong its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is free of obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace.
