What is a Sump Pump?

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