Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Batavia Ohio

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are created 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 generally installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a border 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 triggered 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 just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new houses are equipped with sump pumps however older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a severe storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped away from your house.

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