Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Nedrose North Dakota

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are designed 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 generally installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is funnelled into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearest 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 homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump setup and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to ensure 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 far from your house.

If your home experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged period, frequent 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 home's supply of water pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can provide a number of backup alternatives.
