Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Comanche Oklahoma

Did you understand? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are created 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 usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is carried into a border drain system set up 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 activated 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 only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump installation 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 equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a severe storm when it's especially important that water is pumped far from your house.

If your house experiences a power failure out for a prolonged duration, frequent power outages or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can present a number of backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump frequently to make sure it will run when the next big rainstorm happens. Evaluate it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump must turn on, get rid of the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Ensure that the float and the check valve move easily.

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's efficiency and prolong its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is devoid of obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and out of your basement or crawlspace. If you don't want to do this yourself, our group of Midwest Plumbers professionals mores than happy to assist with your sump pump maintenance.
