Water intrusion can seriously damage homes, which is why sump pumps are essential for preventing flooding. The first mechanical sump pump was created by James B. Lansing in the 19th century, using steam power to remove water from mines. Then, in 1928, Charles E. Weir introduced the first electric sump pump, making it easier for homeowners to deal with water in basements and crawl spaces.

After World War II, many homes were built in flood-prone areas, making sump pumps necessary for families. In the 1950s, Andrew Shane designed a compact submersible pump, leading to the sump pump systems we have today. Now, sump pumps are common in homes and businesses, helping to prevent costly water damage.
