Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Noyack New York

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are developed to eliminate 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 installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is funnelled into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the structure. 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, removes 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.

Many 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 experts at sump pump installation and repair.

Numerous sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's especially important that water is pumped away from your house.

If your house experiences a power outage out for an extended period, regular power failures or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that use your house's water system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
