Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Pond Creek Oklahoma

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve 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 most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is transported into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes 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 nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

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

Lots of sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's particularly essential that water is pumped away from your home.
