What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submerged device installed at the lowest part of a home, typically in the basement. It directs groundwater into a perimeter drainage system at the base of the home's foundation. This system consists of perforated pipes that allow water to enter and gather in a sump pit or basin. Once the water in the pit reaches a certain level, a float switch activates the sump pump, which then channels the water away to the nearest storm drain, dry well, or retention pond. This process prevents water from pooling around the foundation and under the basement floor.

While most newly constructed homes with basements come equipped with sump pumps, older homes can also be fitted with these systems to avert basement flooding. Professional plumbers, like those at Aqua Vac Sewer & Drain Ltd, specialize in installing sump pumps and can also provide backup options for added security.
