Sump pumps are generally installed in the lowest point of the building. Water that finds its way into the building is quickly diverted to the sump pit. Hotels, apartment buildings and other commercial properties may have elevator sumps to prevent flooding in elevator shafts. The sump pump, triggered by a float switch, turns on when the water reaches a pre-determined level. The sump pump removes water by pumping it to an approved area.
