How a sump pump protects your home

Sump pumps are simple systems that offer peace of mind to anyone concerned about a flooded basement or crawlspace. A sump pump typically has three major components that work together to detect and eliminate excess water before you end up with a wet basement.

First, the sump pit is placed in the lowest section of your home (usually an unobtrusive corner of your basement or crawlspace) where water would naturally collect and houses the pump itself. There are two kinds of sump pits: lined and gravel. A lined pit draws water from the soil around your home via a drain, while a gravel sump pit absorbs water from the surrounding terrain. For safety and aesthetics, the pit usually has a low-profile cover on top.

A “float” or “switching device” is responsible for monitoring the level of water inside the sump pit. When the water level begins to increase, the switch is triggered and the sump pump is activated.

The basement sump pump itself may be submerged inside the pit or located on a small pedestal to keep it out of the water. Regardless of the type of pump you have installed, once the trigger activates, the pump will draw water out of the pit and discharge it through a drainage pipe to the exterior of your home. This process continues until the water level decreases to a safe level and the switching device shuts off, preventing flooding 24/7.
