A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is normally installed at the most affordable point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is channeled into a perimeter drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit.
