Having the basement of your New York home flood is a nightmare to any homeowner.

What Is a Sump Pump?

Your home has a sump or a small pit dug into the basement floor to collect the water that filters through your foundation’s surroundings. A sump pump is a device that detects the presence of water in the sump, moving it away from your property through a connection of discharge pipes.

How Do They Work?

Most sumps typically have a depth of two feet and a diameter of 18 inches. A floating switch engages the pump when the water level reaches a specific point. When the pump is engaged, it automatically removes excess water from your property using a discharge line that connects the pump to a designated drainage area.

The discharge line often contains a one-way check valve that prevents the expelled water from flowing back. Also, since flooding is usually caused by severe storms, which can also cause power outages, sump pumps are often connected to backup power sources to ensure that they offer your home continual protection.

Types of Sump Pumps
