A sump pump is a pump used to remove water that has accumulated in a water-collecting sump basin.  The water may enter via the perimeter drains, funneling into the basin or because of rain or natural ground water, if the area is below the water table level.

The job of a sump pump is to direct water away from the building, to a place where it is no longer problematic, because of this, the pump will often be used in the basement of homes or areas where the water table is above the foundation level.

There are two types of sump pumps; a pedestal sump pump and a submersible sump pump.

The pedestal sump pump is often the more economical sump pump option. As it is mounted above the sump with an exposed motor it makes it easier for repairs to take place if needed. The pedestal sump pump is the more visible pump, but often won’t last as long as the submersible sump pumps.

The submersible sump pump is completely mounted inside the sump and sealed. This makes it the more visually appealing sump pump, but it does mean it is tricky to complete repairs if needed. The submersible sump pump will tend to cost more than the pedestal sump pump, but it will last longer, be less obtrusive and quieter too.

Often sump pumps are required on construction sites after heavy rainfall.

Trebles also offer a range of wastewater pumps, including sewage handling. More information can be found here
