What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is carried 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.

A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

The majority of new homes are equipped 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.
