Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Waveland Mississippi


Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping problems 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 normally set up at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is funnelled into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its way 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 turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many new homes are equipped 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.

Sump Pump Installation

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

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump frequently to make sure it will run when the next big rainstorm takes place. Test it by putting a container of water into the sump pit. The pump ought to switch on, get rid of the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Ensure that the float and the check valve move freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's performance and prolong its life.
