Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and dripping issues as they are created 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 usually set up at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is directed into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, removes the water by pumping it to the closest storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.
Most brand-new homes are equipped with sump pumps but older houses can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. Our Midwest Plumbers plumbers are professionals at sump pump setup 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 specifically crucial that water is pumped away from your house.
If your house experiences a power interruption out for an extended duration, frequent power blackouts or if your main sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among many water powered backup systems (that utilize your house's water system pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
