Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Tucker Mississippi

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix 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 usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is channeled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, removes 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.

The majority of brand-new houses are equipped with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair.

Numerous 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 severe storm when it's particularly essential that water is pumped far from your house.

If your house experiences a power outage out for a prolonged duration, regular power interruptions or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that use your house's water system pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
