Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are designed to eliminate 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 set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is transported into a boundary 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 nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-new homes 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 installation and repair.

Many sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's specifically important that water is pumped away from your home.

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