Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Glen Rose Texas


Did you understand? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are created 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 most affordable sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is channeled into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated 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.

The majority of brand-new houses are geared up with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation and repair.

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

Sump Pump Maintenance

Check your sump pump routinely to make sure it will operate when the next big downpour takes place. Evaluate it by putting a pail of water into the sump pit. The pump should switch on, get rid of the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Ensure that the float and the check valve move freely.
