Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Friendship Wisconsin


Did you know? Sump pumps will fix most basement flooding and dripping problems as they are created to eliminate 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 sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is carried into a border drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off 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 switches on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Many brand-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 professionals at sump pump installation and repair.

Sump Pump Installation

Sump pumps can be hard-wired into a home's electrical system or be plugged into an outlet. Many sump pumps are geared up with a battery backup to ensure that the pump will work when the power is out, such as during a serious storm when it's especially essential that water is pumped away from your house.

A Midwest Plumbers plumbing technician can present several backup alternatives.

Sump Pump Maintenance

Evaluate your sump pump routinely to make sure it will operate when the next big downpour happens. Evaluate it by pouring a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should turn on, get rid of the water from the pit and shut itself off in a matter of seconds. Ensure that the float and the check valve move freely.

To clean your sump pit, get rid of any dirt, sand, gravel and other particles to increase the pump's performance and extend its life. Make sure that the discharge line opening is without obstructions so that water can be pumped through the line and out of your basement or crawlspace. If you do not wish to do this yourself, our team of Midwest Plumbers professionals enjoys to assist with your sump pump maintenance.
