Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Placedo Texas

Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping 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 generally set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is funnelled into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump setup and repair work.

Sump Pump Installation

Lots of sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for a prolonged duration, frequent power outages or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that use your house's water supply pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
