Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Harrisville New Hampshire

Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking 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 generally set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is transported into a perimeter 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 set off 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 new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump setup and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Many sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to make sure 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 far from your home.

If your house experiences a power blackout out for an extended period, regular power outages or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that use your house's water supply pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can provide numerous backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump regularly to make sure it will run when the next big downpour happens. Evaluate it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump must turn on, eliminate 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, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's efficiency and lengthen its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is devoid of obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you do not want to do this yourself, our group of Midwest Plumbers experts is happy to help with your sump pump upkeep.
