Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Sharpsville Indiana

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping problems as they are developed to get rid of 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 normally installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered 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 only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of brand-new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair work.

Lots of sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout an extreme storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped away from your house.

If your house experiences a power failure out for an extended period, frequent power interruptions or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
