Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Dhanis Texas

Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking problems 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 usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is channeled into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the nearby 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 houses 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. Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's specifically essential that water is pumped far from your home.

If your home experiences a power failure out for a prolonged period, regular power interruptions or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.

Sump Pump Maintenance
