Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Jacksonwald Pennsylvania

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking problems 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 set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is directed into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered 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 geared up with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump setup and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Many 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 important that water is pumped far from your home.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for an extended period, regular power failures or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that use your home's supply of water pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can present several backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump regularly to make sure it will run when the next huge rainstorm occurs. Evaluate it by putting a container 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. Ensure that the float and the check valve relocation easily.

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