When you need it, you really need it RIGHT NOW. That is why the maintenance and repair of
your sump pump is so very important.
Your basement sump pump sits quietly for most of the year, then comes
the rainy season in the Seattle area and suddenly it becomes the most important
part of your home preventing basement flooding.
Here are some common checking tips for your sump pump:
1. Check the float to
make sure it is performing up to peak
2. Thoroughly clean
out the sump pit…remove those loose items that have built up
3. Check the
impeller. Debris sneaks through the
screen and jams the impeller
4. Make sure that the
electrical connection plugged in properly and not frayed.
These steps and more are something that a sump pump expert
can follow blindfolded. Shawn Allen is
