What is a Sump Pump...and What is it Doing in My Euclid Home's Basement?

What on earth is a sump pump? Well, according to Lowe's, a sump pump can be described below:

"Some homes with basements or crawl spaces are protected from ground water damage by a network of drainage tubes around the foundation. These direct water into a shallow pit, or sump, where a sump pump pushes the water out and away from the house through a discharge pipe.

Sump pumps work automatically each time water fills the sump, making them easy to forget about. Don’t. A damaged or broken pump can quickly allow water to overflow the sump and damage your basement."
