Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are developed to remove 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 set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is carried into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. 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, gets rid of 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.

A lot of brand-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 specialists at sump pump setup and repair.

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 throughout 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 one of many water powered backup systems (that use your home's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
