Choosing the Best Sump Pump: Protecting Your Home from Water Damage
submersible sump pumps, means that the entire pump is placed within the the sump pit where the water collects to be pumped out of the house. So the pump is frequently submerged in water. A pedestal sump pump only has the base of the pump within the sump pit and the electric motor sits on a pole above the pit that keeps the motor dry (so the motor does not have to be waterproof).
