Did you understand? 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 usually installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is transported into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new houses 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 experts at sump pump installation and repair work.

Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's particularly essential that water is pumped far from your home.

If your house experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged duration, frequent 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 supply of water pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
