What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is generally installed at the most affordable sump pump repairspoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's foundation is funnelled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure. Water discovers its method into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit.
