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.
