Sump Pump Installation, Maintenance & Repairs Mazomanie Wisconsin

Did you know? Sump pumps will solve most basement flooding and leaking issues as they are designed 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 usually installed at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is funnelled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is triggered 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 only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.

Most new homes are geared up 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 setup and repair.

Lots of 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 an extreme storm when it's especially crucial that water is pumped far from your house.

If your home experiences a power outage out for a prolonged duration, frequent power blackouts or if your primary sump pump fails, a battery backup sump pump or among numerous water powered backup systems (that use your house's supply of water pressure to remove water from the sump pit) will secure your basement from water damage.
