What is a Sump Pump?

Ground water surrounding your home's structure is transported into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the structure. Water finds its method into the perforated drains and is quickly diverted to the sump pit.

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