Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Maud Texas

Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are created to get rid of 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 point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is channeled into a boundary 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, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump setup and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Lots of sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a severe storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped far from your home.

If your home experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged period, regular power failures or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of many water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water supply pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can provide numerous backup options.

Sump Pump Maintenance

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

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's performance and lengthen its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is free of blockages 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 team of Midwest Plumbers specialists enjoys to help with your sump pump maintenance.

If your sump pump is not working, hire the experts at Midwest Plumbers to examine the circumstance. We also can assist with any basement leakage repair works that have happened due to a damaged sump pump.
