Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Upper Southampton Pennsylvania

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are created 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 normally installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most brand-new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation and repair work.

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 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 crucial that water is pumped away from your house.

If your home experiences a power outage out for an extended period, frequent power interruptions 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 water system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage.
