Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking concerns as they are developed 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 normally installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is channeled into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, eliminates the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of brand-new houses are equipped with sump pumps however 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 work.

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 during an extreme storm when it's specifically crucial that water is pumped away from your house.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for an extended duration, frequent power interruptions or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that use your home's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage.
