SUMP PUMP MAINTENACE

A sump pump is essential for protecting your home from flooding and water damage, especially in basements prone to moisture. Regular maintenance keeps it functioning when needed most. Test it every few months by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates correctly. Inspect the power cord and confirm it’s plugged in securely. Clear debris from the pump and pit to prevent clogs. Replace the battery backup every 2–3 years to ensure operation during power outages. Neglecting maintenance can lead to pump failure, resulting in costly water damage and potential mold growth. An annual professional inspection is recommended for optimal performance.
