How Do Sump Pumps Work?
A sump pump is a pump located in the lowest part of a home. It’s designed to keep the area under your home dry and free of moisture in order to prevent water damage. These systems often have a level that checks water levels around your home. When the rise above the normal check level, the pump cycles on, removing any excess water from around your home.
These systems work automatically and are often the difference between minor water cleanup and a whole home loss. Whether it’s flood water, a burst pipe, or even construction damage to a water main, you need a sump pump on and working in your home at all times.

- Submersible Sump Pump - A submersible sump pump’s job is to work while completely submerged in water. It’s located in the sump pump reservoir. It works by activating a motor that acts when exposed to water and can automatically shut off after the water has cleared.
- Pedestal Sump Pump - As you probably guessed by the name, pedestal sump pumps sit above ground and is never submerged in water. It works through a pipe system that transfers the excess water through a pipe and disposes of it back into the water system or through a well.
