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 structure is carried into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure.

A sump pump turns on only when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.
