Did you understand? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and dripping issues 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 area. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is directed into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns 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 avoid basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are specialists at sump pump installation and repair work.

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

If your house experiences a power failure out for a prolonged 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 use your home's water supply pressure to get rid of water from the sump pit) will safeguard your basement from water damage.
