What Does a Sump Pump Do and Why Do You Need One?

A sump pump system consists of a constructed pit that is dug below the level of your basement surface. The hole is then fitted with the electric sump pump that detects increasing water levels or pressures.

If there’s a flood and water levels rise, the sump pump automatically begins to collect and move water outside and away from your home using a discharge line.

There are two different kinds of sump pumps:

  • Submersible sump pumps: These systems take up less square footage because they sit underwater in a sump pit. They work quickly and quietly to remove water and minor debris from spaces such as basements, yards, crawl spaces, and other areas during a flood.
  • Pedestal sump pumps: These sump pumps are located on the floor inside of your home. They are easy to install and maintain and are a more affordable option.

Water-Powered vs. Battery Backup Sump Pumps

There are two types of backup systems that can keep your sump pump working during an electrical outage:

  • Sump pump battery backup: A large battery can power your system when electricity is lost.
  • Water-powered sump pump backup: This backup option uses your home’s water supply to power your sump pump without electricity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pumps

It can, but it’s not necessary. Often, this is because of recent rain, snow melting, or ground seepage.

A sump pump should only run when the float is triggered. If it’s constantly running, it’s likely a malfunction that a professional plumber should inspect.

We recommend scheduling maintenance for your sump pump on an annual basis. Most sump pumps do not need more than an annual inspection and adjustment.


Signs include strange noises, running nonstop, or failing to pump water properly. Call for an inspection.


Most sump pump installations take 2–4 hours, depending on setup and site conditions.


A battery backup is best for storms; it keeps your pump working during power outages.
