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 most affordable sump pump repairspoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your house's structure is directed into a perimeter drain system installed at the base of the foundation. Water finds its way into the perforated drains and is rapidly diverted to the sump pit.

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