Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Los Fresnos Texas


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 typically set up at the lowest sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is transported into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is activated by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns 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 specialists at sump pump installation and repair work.

Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped far from your home.
