Did you know? Sump pumps will solve 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 generally installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is directed into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby 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 brand-new homes are geared up with sump pumps however older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump installation 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 equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a severe storm when it's specifically crucial that water is pumped away from your home.

If your house experiences a power blackout out for an extended duration, frequent power blackouts 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 supply of water pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumber can present numerous backup alternatives.
