Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Brockway Michigan


Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping 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 typically installed at the most affordable sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new houses are geared up with sump pumps however 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.

Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a severe storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped far from your home.
