Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Campbellsville Kentucky


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 generally installed at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a perimeter 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 set off by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new houses are geared up with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump setup and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Lots of sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

A Midwest Plumbers plumber can provide several backup alternatives.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump routinely to make sure it will run when the next huge downpour happens. Evaluate it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to turn 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, get rid of any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's efficiency and prolong its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is without blockages so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you do not want to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers experts is happy to assist with your sump pump upkeep.
