A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is generally installed at the lowest sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is transported into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit.
