Where does the sump pump empty?

Sump pumps discharge water away from the home to prevent it from recycling back into the basement drain. The water is typically drained through a buried 3-inch line to a storm drain or dry well at least 10 feet from the foundation, in compliance with local codes and regulations. Proper discharge prevents waterlogged yards, foundation damage, and localized flooding.

Regular maintenance and testing of your sump pump are crucial to ensure proper function and prevent water damage.
