6 Tips Every Sump Pump Owner Should Know!

1- Cycle the sump pump. Pour about 5 gal of water into the pit, and listen to see if the sump pump turns on.
2- Clean the interior of the Sump pit with wet/dry vac, bleach (if water is in it), and make sure the bottom screen of the sump pump is clear.
3- Clean the exterior sump drain. Make sure it is not obstructed. This will be located somewhere outside in your yard.
4- Level the bottom of the pit so that the sump pump is sitting on a clean level surface. Consider a round paver stone, make sure the diameter is not too large to fit into your pit.
5- Have a backup source of power. Consider a battery backup or a generator. Typically with a large storm, we also lose power.
6- Install a water alarm near the sump pit. This way you will be alerted immediately if there is a problem with flooding in your basement because your sump pump stopped working!
