What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump is a submersible pump that is installed in the lowest point of a home, usually in the basement. A sump system works by channeling groundwater into a perimeter drain system that is installed at the base of the home’s foundation. The pipes that make up this drain system are perforated, allowing water to flow in and collect in a sump pit or crock. The sump pump then redirects the water to the nearest storm drain, dry well, or retention pond. Sump pumps are usually triggered by a float switch and only activate when water reaches a predetermined level in the sump pit. By redirecting excess water, sump pumps prevent water from accumulating around the home's foundation and beneath the basement floor. Roto-Rooter plumbers are experts at sump pump installation and repair and can offer backup sump pump options too.

Most new basement homes are equipped with sump pumps but older homes can be retrofitted with a sump system to prevent basement flooding. To learn more about Sump Pumps, read our What is a Sump Pump guide.

Our sump pump failed and our basement was flooded on Dec 24th. Our service technician was very prompt in replacing our sump pump and setting us up with Roto-Rooter water restoration for basement cleanup. Both gentlemen were very knowledgeable with the process to maintain a healthy home. We were happy that this unexpected problem didn't spoil our Christmas plans. Lillian C

I woke up and my sump pump was not working. I called Roto-Rooter and they came right away. They replaced the pump and within about 2 hours it was working and I averted a flooded basement. They were GREAT. Caitlyn F
