Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Junction Kansas

Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve 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 usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is funnelled into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump setup and repair.

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 severe storm when it's specifically important that water is pumped far from your home.

If your house experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged period, regular power outages or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water system pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
