How Sump Pumps Work

Sump pumps serve as a first line of defense against groundwater in basements and crawl spaces. Installed in specially constructed pits, they:

• Collect water from drains or natural accumulation

• Automatically activate when water reaches a set level

• Pump excess water safely away from the foundation

Professional services ensure the right system is selected based on:

• Pit size and water volume

• Local groundwater conditions

• Discharge requirements

Types of Sump Pumps

Two main types are used depending on your property needs:

Submersible Pumps

• Operate fully underwater

• Quieter and better for long run times

• Sealed against moisture and humidity

Pedestal Pumps

• Motor sits above the pit

• Easier to service and access

• Keeps electrical parts further from water

Professionals evaluate your setup to recommend the best option.

• High water levels

• Pump failures

• Power outages

Advanced alarm systems may include:

• Wi-Fi alerts to smartphones
