Combat Plumbing Reminds You to Check Your Sump Pumps
Submitted By
Combat Plumbing LLC
Regular sump pump maintenance is crucial to ensure it’s functioning properly during wet weather. Here are some general tips to keep your sump pump in top shape and prevent water damage:
- Listen for Activation: When heavy rain or melting snow surrounds your foundation, your sump pump should kick on to pump out water. Ensure you can hear it activate and shut off as needed.
- Check the Outlet: Make sure your sump pump is plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet. Verify the green light is on, indicating the pump has power.
- Clear Debris: Regularly remove the cover and check the sump pit for debris that might impede the flow of water. Keeping it clear ensures optimal performance.
- Test the Float: Pour a small amount of water into the pit to see if the pump activates once the water reaches a certain level. If you can’t pour water, gently lift the float to ensure the pump engages.
If your sump pump is malfunctioning, don’t wait until it’s too late. Contact Combat Plumbing to replace or upgrade your system and help protect your home from flooding.
