Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Taylor Texas

Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are designed 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 typically set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, eliminates 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.

The majority of new houses 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 specialists at sump pump setup and repair work.

Numerous sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's particularly crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

If your home experiences a power interruption out for an extended period, regular power failures or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's water system pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will protect your basement from water damage.
