Sump pumps are cylindrical pumps that are placed in the lowest point of your basement.
A sump pump moves water from your basement, out of your home. A sump is a naturally constructed pit, typically a hole carved below the main surface of your basement floor. This pit, called a basin, holds the sump pump. The pump has valves that sense increasing water levels or pressure.
A sump pump automatically pumps excess water out of the house and away from your property through a discharge line when it senses water getting too high. This line, which is called an effluent, connects the pump to a designated drainage location, and helps prevent prone flooding areas like basements from experiencing water damage.
