Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Clarksville Ohio

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking problems 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 typically installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house'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 set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of brand-new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump setup and repair.

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 crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged period, regular power interruptions or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
