Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Lawrenceville Georgia

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking concerns as they are developed 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 space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes 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 just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many new houses are geared up with sump pumps however older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump setup 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 equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped away from your home.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged duration, regular power failures or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
