What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is normally installed at the lowest sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is funnelled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the structure.

A sump pump turns on just when water inside the sump pit reaches a pre-determined level.
