Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Fairfax Oklahoma


Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking problems as they are designed 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 set up at the lowest sump pump repairspoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off 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 switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are experts at sump pump setup and repair work.

Lots of sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure 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 home.
