WHAT DOES A SUMP PUMP CONSIST OF?

Sump pumps commonly come in two types, pedestal and submersible. Both consist of either plastic, metal, or concrete containers that serve as a basin. This catches the excess water in your home. It also has a pump, either battery or main powered, that extracts the water from the basin. A pedestal sump pump is better suited for smaller areas and can last up to 15 years. Alternatively, a submersible sump pump works well in large spaces like the basement and can last up to 20 years. Depending on the sump pump you have, there are different repairs and maintenance services they will require. Your home also plays a factor in which pump will work better, if you do not have one already installed.
