What is a sump pump and how does it work?

A sump pump is an electric powered pump installed in the lowest part of a basement or crawlspace. It serves to keep these areas dry and to prevent floods. If water collects in your home’s basement regularly, a sump pump will remove it before structural damage can occur. Today, sump pumps are fixtures in many homes and are standard in the construction of new homes.

In most cases, they are installed in sump basins. Water enters into a sump basin via drains, or by perimeter catchment piping. The sump pump works to pump the water out of the sump pit, directing it away from the building to keep the basement or crawlspace dry.

Victims of flooding know how little it takes to cause structural damage to a home. Even small amounts of water can lead to mould & mildew growth, resulting in a toxic environment.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are two main types of sump pump:

Submersible sump pumps
Surface-mounted sump pumps

Submersible sump pumps:

Submersible sump pumps reside below the water at the bottom of the sump basin. They can manage higher water volumes better than surface pumps. When a level switch activates the pump, it discharges the water away from your property through piping.

Surface Mounted Sump pumps:

Another type of sump pump is called a surface mounted sump pump. The pump is mounted in an area that is remote from the sump basin. A pipe reaches down into the bottom of the pit to draw the water out. Since the motor and pump are out of the water, surface mounted sump pumps are traditionally louder than submersible pumps.

We carry and service a variety of surface and submersible water pumps and brands:

Submersible Well Pumps Constant Pressure Pump Systems Jet Pumps Booster Pumps Irrigation Pumps Sump Pumps Pressure Tanks

Sump pumps activate through a float switch or a pressure sensor. Pressure sensors activate sump pumps as additional water pressure is exerted on the sensor. Float switches activate the pump after reaching a level that is brought on by rising water.

Sump pumps for home use are powered by electricity and use a standard household current. They don’t require specialized wiring beyond a grounded outlet.
