Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Marshall Texas


Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns 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 normally installed at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is carried into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. 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 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 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 setup 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 equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout a serious storm when it's particularly essential that water is pumped far from your house.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump regularly to make sure it will run when the next big rainstorm occurs. Test it by pouring a pail of water into the sump pit. The pump must switch on, remove the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Ensure that the float and the check valve relocation freely.

To clean your sump pit, remove any dirt, sand, gravel and other debris to increase the pump's performance and extend its life.
