Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Wilber Nebraska

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 space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is channeled into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit.

Many brand-new houses are equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump setup and repair work.
