This is a cross-section of a typical sump pump. Most, if not all, sump pumps have similar internal components.
What is a sump pump?
A sump pump is a device used to remove accumulated water from a sump pit typically located in a basement or crawlspace. It has a motor, impeller, and pump housing, automatically pumping water out of the pit when it reaches a certain level. The centrifugal force created by the impeller pulls the water out of the pit and outside, away from the foundation, preventing water damage and keeping basements and crawlspaces dry.

A dependable sump pump is made with durable parts, well-tested for reliability through cycle testing, and maintained annually.
They are mechanical devices with moving parts prone to stop working when the power goes out or if the motor burns out.
It is vital to have a professional install a customized sump pump station to maximize reliability. An expert installer will give you the peace of mind that your pump is ready to prevent future flooding. They should also back their products with a strong warranty.
