What is a Sump Pump and What Does it Do?
A sump pump is a submersible pump that is installed in the lowest point of a home. It works by channeling groundwater into a perimeter drain system that is installed at the base of the home’s foundation. The pipes that make up this drain system are perforated, allowing water to flow in. The sump pump then redirects the water to the nearest storm drain, dry well, or retention pond. Sump pumps are usually triggered by a float switch and only activate when water reaches a predetermined level. By redirecting excess water, sump pumps prevent water from accumulating inside the home.

Sump Pump Maintenance:
Although sump pumps are fairly low-maintenance devices, they still need to be tested and inspected regularly. Sump pump maintenance should occur at least once a year. Failing to routinely test whether your sump pump is functioning properly could put you at risk for water damage if your home is hit by unexpected heavy precipitation.
