Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Ridge Ohio

Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve 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 usually installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure 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, removes the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most brand-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 work.

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

If your home experiences a power interruption out for an extended duration, frequent power outages or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that use your home's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
