Heavy rain can saturate the soil and can cause groundwater to enter the basement through a sump pit. Sump pumps direct this groundwater away from the home through drainage pipes and work best in homes that experience flooding caused by rain. If your basement floods, you may need to get a sump pump or replace the one you have. Here is a typical sump pit with a sump pump connected to a drainage system.
