How Does A Sump Pump Work?

A sump pump is a small pump that is typically installed in the lowest part of a basement. it functions to keep the structure dry and free from flooding. Sump pumps are installed in specially constructed sump pits and when water runs into the pit, the sump pump pumps the water out and directs it away from the structure.

Sump pumps must be regularly maintained in order to continually function properly. When high levels of water exist, the sump pump may run continually, requiring more frequent maintenance and service. Sump pump repair is critical to the longevity and effectiveness of the pump.
