A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is typically installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is channeled into a border drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit.
