What is a Sump Pump?

The basement or a crawlspace is a common problem when you hit with a heavy rain. From sudden summer storms, or spring rains and thawing snow, you need a plumbing contractor that have enough experience dealing with the challenges of your home basement, crawlspace and weather to ensure your basement and its contents are protected from water damage. The sump pumps are used to remove water that has accumulated or collected in a sump pit. A sump pit, commonly found in the home basement or in crawlspaces is simply a depression designed to collect water some of them are designed like a tray that collects the rain water from the crawlspace. The water may enter through the perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system directing the water into the pit. Sump pumps can also handle excess rain or a naturally high ground water table, if the basement is below the water table level. UTZO can maintain and install sump pumps and sump pump systems in Santa Clara.

How Sump Pump Work?

A sump pump is installed in a sump pit (a plastic pit with holes drilled in the bottom) about 2 feet (60 centimeters) deep and 18 inches (45 centimeters) wide in the basement floor or in the crawl space that would fill up with water as the ground becomes saturated. When the water in the hole gets high enough the sump pump powers on automatically and pushes the water up a discharge pipe that leads out to the downspout or a lawn. The pipe usually has a one-way valve called a check valve at the pump end to keep the water from flowing back into the pit. The building codes usually require a drain tile (usually 3 " to 4" corrugated plastic pipe - or a clay pipe in older homes) to run around the perimeter of the house's foundation under the concrete basement floor and to be tied into a sump pit when a house is built. The drain tile has slits on its walls so that as the ground water rises up under the basement floor or crawl space, the water seeps into the tile and runs downhill into the pit to be pumped out. When the drain tile is installed, it is buried in the gravel bed to make it easy the flow of water seeping in to the slits, and with fabric covering over the tile to prevent silt from entering and clogging the pipes. Sump pumps are usually equipped with a 1/4 or 1/3 HP motor and come with either a plastic or cast iron housing.

Sump pumps can cease running for several different reasons:
