Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Dublin Pennsylvania


Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are developed 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 installed at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off 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.

Most new homes 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.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Lots of sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's specifically essential that water is pumped away from your house.

A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can provide several backup alternatives.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump routinely to make sure it will operate when the next big rainstorm takes place. Test it by putting a pail of water into the sump pit. The pump must switch on, get rid of the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Guarantee that the float and the check valve move easily.

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's efficiency and lengthen its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is devoid of obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you do not wish to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers specialists mores than happy to help with your sump pump upkeep.

Sump Pump Replacement and Repair

Like any devices with moving parts, sump pumps will wear out in time and will need to be changed.

If your sump pump is not working, call in the professionals at Midwest Plumbers to assess the situation. We also can assist with any basement leak repairs that have occurred due to a broken sump pump.
