Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Weatherford Texas

Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking 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 generally set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is carried into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. 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 closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new homes are geared up with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to avoid 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. Many sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to guarantee that the pump will work when the power is out, such as throughout an extreme storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped far from your home.

If your house experiences a power blackout out for a prolonged duration, regular power interruptions or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or one of lots of water powered backup systems (that use your house's water supply pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage. A Midwest Plumbers plumbing professional can provide a number of backup alternatives.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Test your sump pump routinely to make sure it will operate when the next big rainstorm takes place. Test it by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump needs to switch on, remove the water from the pit and shut itself off immediately. Make sure that the float and the check valve relocation freely.

To clean your sump pit, eliminate any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's efficiency and lengthen its life. Ensure that the discharge line opening is free of obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and from your basement or crawlspace. If you do not want to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers experts is happy to help with your sump pump maintenance.

Sump Pump Replacement and Repair

Like any devices with moving parts, sump pumps will wear in time and will need to be changed. There is no basic rule on how frequently a sump pump need to be changed given that it depends on how frequently the pump runs. If your sump pump is not working, call in the specialists at Midwest Plumbers to assess the situation. We also can aid with any basement leak repairs that have taken place due to a damaged sump pump.
