A sump pump is a device that is installed in a basement or crawlspace to prevent flooding and water damage by removing excess water from the area. The pump is typically installed in a pit or basin, called a sump pit, which collects water that has accumulated in the basement or crawlspace.

When the water level in the sump pit rises to a certain level, the sump pump is activated and begins to pump the water out of the pit and away from the home's foundation through a discharge pipe. The pump is typically powered by electricity and is equipped with a float switch or sensor that automatically turns the pump on and off as needed.
