The two primary types of sump pumps are submersible pumps and pedestal pumps. Submersible pumps are placed underwater in a built-in sump pump basin. Pedestal pumps, usually smaller, are positioned with the pump motor out of the water in the sump basin. Smaller basins usually require a pedestal sump pump.
