Sump pump maintenance.... keeper dry!

Here are some tips for inspecting your sump pump:

- Check the Power: Ensure the sump pump is plugged in and receiving power. Test the outlet and breaker to confirm they are functioning properly.
- Test the Pump: Manually lift the float switch to see if the pump activates. Alternatively, pour water into the sump pit to trigger the pump.
- Inspect the Pit: Clear any debris or sediment from the sump pit to prevent clogs.
- Examine the Discharge Pipe: Check the discharge pipe for any cracks, leaks, or obstructions. Ensure it directs water away from your home.
- Check the Check Valve: Verify that the check valve is functioning correctly to prevent water from flowing back into the sump pit.
- Backup Power: Ensure your sump pump has a reliable backup power source, such as a battery backup, to keep it running during power outages.
