Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Wrens Georgia

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping issues 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 installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is directed into a border drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains 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 nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older homes 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 make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout an extreme storm when it's specifically important that water is pumped away from your house.

If your house experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged duration, regular power blackouts or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of numerous water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
