Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Manchester Tennessee

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking concerns as they are developed to eliminate 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 foundation is directed into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are geared up 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 installation and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped far from your home.

If your house experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged period, regular power failures or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can present numerous backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump regularly to make sure it will run when the next huge rainstorm takes place. Check it by pouring a pail of water into the sump pit. The pump must turn on, remove the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Make sure that the float and the check valve move freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's effectiveness and extend its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is devoid 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 team of Midwest Plumbers specialists enjoys to help with your sump pump upkeep.
