What is a Sump Pump?

A sump pump removes water that collects in a sump basin or pit, helping prevent flooding and water damage. Water can enter the basin through perimeter drainage systems, rainfall or natural groundwater, particularly in areas where the water table is close to or above the building’s foundations.

The pump then transfers the collected water away from the building to a suitable discharge point, helping keep basements, foundations and other vulnerable areas dry.

Types of Sump Pumps

There are two main types of sump pumps: pedestal and submersible.

Pedestal Sump Pumps

A pedestal sump pump is positioned above the sump basin, with its motor mounted out of the water. This makes the motor more accessible for inspection, servicing and repairs. Pedestal pumps are often a more economical option, although their exposed design can make them more noticeable and noisier during operation.

Submersible Sump Pumps

A submersible sump pump sits inside the sump basin, with the motor and pump sealed for operation underwater. This makes it less obtrusive and generally quieter than a pedestal pump. Submersible pumps can also offer a longer service life, although accessing the pump for maintenance or repairs may be less straightforward.

Sump Pumps for Construction Sites

Sump pumps are frequently required on construction sites to remove accumulated water following heavy rainfall or groundwater ingress. Having the right pump available can help keep working areas clear of water and minimise disruption to site operations.

Trebles also supplies a range of wastewater pumps, including solutions for sewage handling. Explore our dirty water and wastewater pumps for more information.
