What is a "sump"?
A sump is a low area or pit, typically found in basements or other buildings, where water collects. It is often used in drainage systems to gather excess water, especially during heavy rainfall or when there is flooding. The water in the sump is usually pumped out and directed away from the building to prevent water damage.
