Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are developed 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 set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only 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 installation and repair.

Many sump pumps are equipped 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 essential that water is pumped far from your house.

If your house experiences a power failure out for a prolonged period, frequent power failures or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water supply pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
