Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Simpsonville South Carolina

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix 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 set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is directed into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off 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 only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new homes are equipped with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump installation 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 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 especially essential that water is pumped far from your house.

If your home experiences a power blackout out for an extended period, frequent power interruptions or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's supply of water pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can present several backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump routinely to make sure it will operate when the next huge downpour happens. Evaluate it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should turn on, eliminate the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Guarantee that the float and the check valve move easily.

To clean your sump pit, get rid of any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's performance and prolong its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is free of obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and out of your basement or crawlspace. If you do not want to do this yourself, our group of Midwest Plumbers experts is happy to assist with your sump pump maintenance.
