Sump pumps are used to prevent flooding in your basement. They do this by removing all of the excess water that is left in your sump pit. It is important for you to understand how to fix it should it break. Step 1 – Quickest Fix The quickest fix is to see if the pump is actually plugged in. Make sure that your hands are completely dry before you touch the cord. Step 2 – Breaker Box Check out the breaker box if the pump is actually plugged in. You may have tripped circuits or burnt fuses. Step 3 – Check Motor You will be able to know if the motor is running by feeling the actual pump. If you feel that it is running but you see no movement in the water then you may have a clog. If this is the case, you will need to look in the drainpipe or the pump screen for the possible clog. Make sure the pump is unplugged before you check either one of these. Step 4 – Blockage You may have a blockage in the water inlet. If this is the case, then you should feel along the bottom of your sump pump, on the intake screen. There may be a buildup of plastic or lint that needs to be removed. Step 5 – Clean Debris There could be debris that has become caught on the screen. Make sure that the debris is completely removed from the pit and is properly disposed. This is to prevent it from coming into contact with the screen again. Step 6 – Drain Clog You may have a clog in your drain line that could be causing issues. You will need to get the line disconnected at your pump to check. Do this by undoing a rubber and hose clamp joint or a screw together union. Once you have done this, run the pump to check for any water movement. Little to no movement could indicate a clog. Step 7 – Call Professional You may find that after all of this you may still have to call a plumber. Make sure that you tell them all of the troubleshooting that you have already done.

You would need a sump pump repair if the sump pump in your basement is not pumping out water. The purpose of a sump pump is to drain excess water that is part of your waterproofing system.
The sump is the oil reservoir. An oil pump lifts the oil from the sump and forces it under pressure through the engine. The oil then returns to the sump to be used again. Some sumps have fins on then - this acts as a cooler to help cool the oil in the sump.

"A sump is a low space that collects any often-undesirable liquids such as water or chemicals. A sump can also be an infiltration basin used to manage surface runoff water and recharge underground aquifers.One common example of a sump is the lowest point in a basement, into which water that seeps in from outside the house flows. If this is a regular problem, a sump pump that moves the water outside of the house may be used."--wikipedia
It keeps the water that is pumped out from flowing back into the sump when the pump shuts off. Most sumps discharge several feet above the hole the pump sits in. If there was not a check valve the sump would just refill and pump out the water over and over.
For best drainage results, the sump pump should be placed below the rest of the floor. It should be set up to drain outside the house. The hose should be far enough away from the window that it does not leak back inside.
A dry sump is not submerged under water as a wet sump is. a dry sump uses a resivoir to hold the oil much like the brake fluid. a wet sump has the oil sump bolted to the bottom of the engine block :D
