A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is normally installed at the most affordable sump pump maintenancepoint in your basement or crawl area. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is carried into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water discovers its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit. The sump pump, which is set off by a float switch, gets rid of the water by pumping it to the nearby storm drain, dry well or detention pond. A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.
