Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Electra Texas


Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and leaking problems as they are designed 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 typically installed at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drainpipes 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 nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

A lot of brand-new houses are geared up with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent 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 home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a severe storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped far from your home.

A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can provide several backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump regularly to make sure it will run when the next big rainstorm happens. Check it by putting a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to switch on, remove the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Ensure that the float and the check valve move freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's performance and lengthen 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 assist with your sump pump upkeep.
