Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Bayside New York


Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping problems 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 normally installed at the lowest sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is channeled into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of brand-new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation 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 equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's specifically crucial that water is pumped away from your home.

A Midwest Plumbers plumber can provide numerous backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump routinely to make sure it will run when the next huge rainstorm occurs. Test it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump must switch on, get rid of 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, get rid of any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's efficiency and prolong its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is without obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you do not wish to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers experts mores than happy to assist with your sump pump upkeep.
