Check your sump pump before you really need it!!

As many homeowners know, Spring showers and snow/ice melting can bring flooded basements.

A sump pump should be able to mitigate the problem, but only if it’s in good working condition.

Check yours now to prevent costly flooding later. Don’t put this off!!

First, check the sump pit for debris. Remove anything that doesn’t belong. Then fill the sump pump with water to test the float switch to ensure that it starts and stops properly. 

Also, take a minute to clean the impeller cover, usually on the bottom of the pump. If this part becomes clogged, it could cause a sump pump to stop pumping when you need it most.

A Little Humor for your Day

 

A lady was picking through the frozen turkeys at the grocery store but she 

couldn't find one big enough for her family. She asked a stock boy, ' Do these 

turkeys get any bigger?' 

The stock boy replied, 'No ma'am, they're dead...'

 

 

The police officer got out of his car as the kid who was stopped for speeding 

rolled down his window. 'I've been waiting for you all day,' the officer said.

 

The kid replied, Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could.' When the cop finally 

stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket.

Interesting Stat

 We received data recently from our Real estate Board stating that 55% of all sales in Indiana come from Illinois buyers!

Just to Make you Smile

“May the way I look at you,
The way I speak with you, 
And the way I treat you,
Reflect the truth that....
I have loved you since forever."

Food for Thought

Here is Cathy visiting the Salton Sea in California.                        The San Andreas fault starts here and runs for hundreds of miles, North through California.

There is a sign by this 750 mile Fault that reads:

" Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." 

Makes you think, doesnt it?
