Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Falmouth Massachusetts

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and dripping concerns 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 lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is funnelled into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of new homes 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 installation and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped far from your home.

If your home experiences a power outage out for an extended duration, regular power blackouts or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among lots of water powered backup systems (that use your house's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage.
