A sump pump is a submersible pump that sits at the bottom of a sump pit, which is usually set up at the most affordable sump pump servicepoint in your basement or crawl space. Ground water surrounding your home's structure is funnelled into a boundary drain system set up at the base of the foundation. Water finds its method into the perforated drainpipes and is quickly diverted to the sump pit.
