Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Sharpsburg Maryland
Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping problems 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 typically installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is directed into a perimeter drain system installed 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 set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the closest 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 equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair.
Sump Pump Installation
Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous 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 a serious storm when it's particularly important that water is pumped far from your home.
If your house experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged duration, frequent power outages or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that use your home's water supply pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can provide a number of backup choices.
Sump Pump Maintenance
Test your sump pump routinely to make sure it will run when the next huge downpour happens. Check it by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit.
