What Is A Sump Pump?
- A sump pump removes ground water from a pit in the basement and it goes to a storm drain. When the water level rises in the sump pit, a float switch activates the sump pump, forcing water out of the pit. The water then is discarded away from the home.
- Sump pumps are a must in areas that experience heavy rains and heavy flooding. Basement flooding is usually caused by a faulty sump pump. The fair Plumber recommends Zoller brand sump pumps due to their HIGH-EFFICIENCY rating and overall quality of the pumps Zoller makes.
What causes a sump pump to be faulty?
- Power outage
- Float is stuck

Am I ok with just having a sump pump?
