Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Great Falls South Carolina

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are developed 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 area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is funnelled into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly 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 turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-new houses are equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid 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. Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped far from your home.

If your home experiences a power outage out for a prolonged duration, frequent power blackouts or if your primary sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can provide numerous backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump regularly to make sure it will operate when the next huge downpour occurs. Test it by pouring a container of water into the sump pit. The pump must turn 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 relocation easily.

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's performance and prolong its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is without 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 mores than happy to assist with your sump pump upkeep.

Sump Pump Replacement and Repair

Like any devices with moving parts, sump pumps will break in time and will need to be replaced. There is no basic guideline on how frequently a sump pump should be replaced given that it depends on how typically the pump runs. If your sump pump is not working, contact the experts at Midwest Plumbers to assess the situation. We also can aid with any basement leak repair works that have happened due to a broken sump pump.
