Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking concerns as they are designed to get rid of 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 point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is directed into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair work.

Many sump pumps are geared up 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 particularly crucial that water is pumped away from your house.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for an extended duration, 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 house's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage.
