Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Adrian Wisconsin

Did you know? Sump pumps will resolve most basement flooding and leaking problems as they are developed 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 usually set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a boundary drain system installed at the base of the structure. 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, eliminates the water by pumping it to the closest 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 new homes are equipped with sump pumps but 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.

Numerous sump pumps are equipped with a battery backup to make sure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during an extreme storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped far from your house.

If your home experiences a power outage out for a prolonged period, regular power failures or if your main sump pump stops working, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your home's supply of water pressure to eliminate water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
