Did you understand? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are designed 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 generally set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is carried into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drains 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 nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-new houses are equipped with sump pumps however 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.

Many sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a severe storm when it's particularly important that water is pumped away from your home.

If your home experiences a power failure out for a prolonged duration, frequent power outages or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
