Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Aubry Kansas


Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are designed 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 set up at the most affordable sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is carried into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, gets rid of 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 but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump setup and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Many sump pumps are equipped 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 far from your house.

A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can present numerous backup alternatives.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump routinely to make sure it will run when the next big downpour occurs. Test it by putting a container of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to switch on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Ensure that the float and the check valve relocation freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's efficiency and extend its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is free of blockages so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace.
