What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump removes water that has accumulated in a sump pit, usually found in crawl spaces or basements. Its purpose is to stop flooding by pumping excess water to the outside or a drainage system. That way, basements stay dry, and buildings are less susceptible to water damage.
Cooper Mechanical Services is Willow Grove’s sump pump specialist. From new sump pump installation to sump pump replacement and sump pump repair, we have the skills and expertise necessary to ensure your system is operating optimally for many years to come.
How Does a Sump Pump Work?
Collection of Water
First, water collects in the sump pit- a small basin in the lowest part of a crawlspace or basement.
Activation
When the water level reaches a specific height in the sump pit, the sump pump automatically activates.
Pumping Action
When activated, the pump’s rotating device spins and pushes water through a pipe connected to the pump.
Discharge
The pump expels the water out of the building through a discharging pipe.
Turning Off
Once the water level in the sump pit drops below a certain level, the float or sensor deactivates the pump until it’s needed again.
