Essential Information About Sump Pumps

Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Des Moines, IA’s sump pump services can safeguard your home’s basement against flooding from a storm or plumbing issue. Float switches get set off whenever the water in sump pits or wells reaches a specific level and trigger sump pumps to start pumping water. After reaching the triggering level, your sump pump starts removing water and pumping it to an outdoor area, nearby storm drain, or well. Make sure you equip your sump pump with a battery-powered alarm to monitor your water level. Taking this vital step ensures your pump warns your family of potential flooding if it malfunctions or overflows.
