The Importance of Maintaining Your Sump Pump

If water is getting into your basement, it is essential to get it out immediately to prevent damage to your structure and unhealthy mold and mildew growth. If you don't already have one, have a sump pump installed in your basement and/or any other area of your property where flooding and water damage are a problem (such as areas of land that slope downward towards your structure).

Well-maintained backup sump pumps ensure that your property is always protected. Here are some tips to keep your sump pump running optimally and avoid many common sump pump problems.

How to Maintain a Sump Pump:

Clean the sump pit on a regular basis – Make this a routine at least once every few months to remove dirt, grime, and other buildup that can cause odors.
Test the check valve to ensure reliable operation – Check valves help to make sure that the water that was pumped out does not come back into the pit.
Check the float – The float rises with the water and triggers the pump to turn on, which is important if the area floods.
Clean the impeller regularly – Debris can cause the impeller to jam, so keep an eye on it.
Check the electricity – Make sure electricity is getting to the unit and the pump is properly grounded.
