Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Seabrook Beach New Hampshire

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are developed 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 house's foundation is transported into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method 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 nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new houses are geared up with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump installation and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Lots of sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure 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 home experiences a power outage out for a prolonged period, frequent power interruptions or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's supply of water pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can provide several backup choices.

Evaluate your sump pump frequently to make sure it will run when the next big downpour occurs. Test it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit.
