If you own a home that has a basement, then it may be a good idea to get a sump pump. If you already have one, it might be a good idea to know what it does. A sump pump is used to remove any water that has been deposited into your sump pit, which is found in your home's basement, the pit is basically a hole that is designed to collect water. The water may enter the pit through drains of a basement waterproof system or water may come when there is rain or even because of natural ground water. Sump pumps may not be found in all basements, but one would be installed if the basement has been a flood magnet. The sump pump is installed into a shallow pit and then covered up so you can't see it.

Then when a hurricane or a huge rainstorms comes through it will absorb the water before it can hit your floor, it pulls water from the basement and then sends it out away from the problem area. If you have a very old style home, your sump pump may be connected to a sanitary sewer. This would not be the way a sump would be installed into a basement today and it probably would not meet the plumbing code. Only in very old homes will you see this.
