What Does a Sump Pump Do?

Sump pumps are often installed in a pit dug at the lowest point in the basement of your home. This allows excess groundwater or water from rains or floods to flow to the pit. When the water level in the pit reaches a specified depth, it trips a float switch that activates the sump pump. The unit then pumps water from the pit via a pipe or hose and from the basement.

Sump Pump Maintenance

You or your plumbing professional should inspect and test the sump pump regularly?normally, before storm season. This ensures that the pump is ready to protect your house when heavy rainfall is more likely. The sump pump maintenance and inspection process will include these steps:

Ensure the sump pump is receiving power and that most connections are safe.

Clear dirt and debris from the pit.

Fill the sump pit to the amount needed to activate the pump. If the pump doesn't seriously, call your plumbing professional for repair.

Test the sump pump by lifting the float switch if there is one. Again, repair is likely to be necessary if the pump doesn't activate.

Fill the pit with clean water a few times and cycle this water through the pump to wash away any dirt or material inside it if the sump pump activates needlessly to say
