Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Sempronius New York

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are created 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 usually installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is directed into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, eliminates 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.

Most new houses are equipped with sump pumps however 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 home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's especially important that water is pumped away from your home.

If your house experiences a power outage out for a prolonged period, regular power failures 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 system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can provide numerous backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump frequently to make sure it will run when the next huge downpour occurs. Check it by putting a container of water into the sump pit. The pump must switch on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Guarantee that the float and the check valve move easily.

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's efficiency and lengthen its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is devoid of blockages so that water can be pumped through the line and out of your basement or crawlspace. If you don't want to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers professionals enjoys to help with your sump pump maintenance.
