What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is generally set up at the lowest point in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's foundation is transported into a border 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.

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