Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Sisco Heights Washington


Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking problems 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 installed at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is channeled into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most brand-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 experts at sump pump setup and repair work.

Numerous 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 particularly crucial that water is pumped away from your house.
