Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Crowley Texas

Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking problems as they are created 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 usually installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated 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.

The majority of new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid 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 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 particularly important that water is pumped away from your home.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged duration, frequent power failures or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that use your home's supply of water pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can provide a number of backup choices.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump regularly to make sure it will run when the next big rainstorm takes place. Evaluate it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should switch on, get rid of the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Make sure that the float and the check valve relocation freely.

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's effectiveness and prolong its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is without obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you do not wish to do this yourself, our group of Midwest Plumbers experts mores than happy to help with your sump pump upkeep.
