We can find sump pumps throughout Des Moines in basements and crawlspaces citywide. The city also gets around 36 inches of rain a year, which can cause flooding in basements with no working sump pumps. Sump pumps are small pumps installed in lower parts of a house or building that tend to flood during heavy rainfall. For example, a basement without a sump pump can flood quickly, causing water damage issues and health issues stemming from mold growth. Water damage is costly to repair, so having a sump pump in your home or business is a guard against flooding and moisture.
Sump pumps work by detecting the presence of water and activating. The pump uses centrifugal force to move water out of the area, through a discharge pipe, and outside, keeping water from settling into a basement or a crawlspace.
If your sump pump isn’t working, or if you need it inspected, give our sump pump repair team a call. We provide sump pump services in addition to plumbing maintenance, so your plumbing system lasts longer.
