What Does a Sump Pump Do?

Sump pumps are often installed in a pit dug at the lowest point in the basement of one's home. This permits excess groundwater or water from rains or floods to flow to the pit. When the water level in the pit reaches a specified depth, it trips a float switch that activates the sump pump. The unit then pumps water from the pit via a pipe or hose and from the basement.

Test the sump pump by lifting the float switch if there is one. Again, repair is going to be necessary if the pump does not activate.

Fill the pit with clean water several times and cycle this water through the pump to wash away any dirt or material inside it if the sump pump activates needlessly to say
