A sump pump is a device installed in the basement of a home, designed to evacuate water that accumulates in a tank or reservoir, often caused by heavy rain or melting snow.
When a certain level of water is reached, the pump is automatically activated and discharges the water outside, preventing it from seeping into your basement. It's an essential part of protecting your property from water damage and flooding, especially if your home is located in an area prone to seepage.
