What is a Sump Pump?

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