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 lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is channeled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit.
