Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Huff Indiana


Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping problems 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 generally set up at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is channeled into a border 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 activated by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the closest 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 homes are geared up with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation and repair.

Numerous sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a severe storm when it's specifically crucial that water is pumped away from your house.
