Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Pinardville New Hampshire

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking concerns 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 generally set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is carried into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of new houses are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump installation and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Lots of sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout an extreme storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped away from your home.

If your house experiences a power outage out for an extended period, frequent power outages or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of numerous water powered backup systems (that use your house's water supply pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can present several backup alternatives.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump frequently to make sure it will operate when the next big rainstorm happens. Evaluate it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to turn on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Make sure that the float and the check valve relocation freely.

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