How Sump Pumps Work

A sump pump is a mechanical device that is installed in a sump, which is a pit or basin that is located below the lowest point of the building. This pump is designed to remove water that collects in the sump and discharge it to the sewer. A sump pump is usually activated when the water reaches a certain level and switches off when the water is cleared.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are two main types of sump pumps:

• Pedestal pumps - These are the most common type of sump pumps. They are usually installed above the water level in the sump. The motor is mounted on a pedestal, which raises the pump above the water level. The motor is connected to an electric cord that is plugged into an outlet. When the water reaches a certain level, the pump turns on and pumps the water out of the sump.
• Submersible pumps - These pumps are installed directly into the sump and are usually wired to an electrical outlet. When the water reaches a certain level, the pump turns on and pumps the water out of the sump and into the sewer line.
