Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and dripping concerns 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 normally set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is funnelled into a border drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drains and is rapidly 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 only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of brand-new homes are geared up 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.

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 serious storm when it's particularly essential that water is pumped far from your house.

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