Sump Pump Discharge

A sump pump discharge refers to the process of moving water away from a sump basin, located in your basement or crawl space, to prevent flooding or water damage. When the pump senses water rising, it activates and pushes the water through a pipe (discharge pipe) to a safe drainage area outside your home. Proper discharge piping ensures water is directed away from the foundation, helping maintain a dry basement and protect your property from moisture problems. Regular checks and correct installation are crucial for effective sump pump performance.
