Demystifying Sump Pump Drainage How Does It Work

A sump pump drainage system effectively manages excess water accumulation in basements or crawl spaces. It operates by collecting water into a sump pit dug below the floor level. When water reaches a certain level, the pump activates, directing water away from the property through a discharge pipe, typically leading to a storm drain or designated drainage area, preventing flooding and water damage.
