Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Alabama New York

Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking concerns as they are created 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 typically installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is carried into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of new houses are geared up 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 installation and repair.

Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped far from your home.

If your house experiences a power outage out for an extended period, frequent power interruptions or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's supply of water pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
