Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Meadows Place Texas

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping concerns as they are designed 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 usually installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is channeled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is quickly 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.

Many new homes 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 setup and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a house's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Numerous sump pumps are equipped 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 specifically important that water is pumped far from your house.

If your house experiences a power failure out for an extended duration, regular power outages or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that use your home's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing can present numerous backup alternatives.
