What Does a Sump Pump Do?

Sump pumps are usually installed in a hole dug at the best point in the basement of one's home. This permits excess groundwater or water from rains or floods to flow in 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 out of the pit by way of a pipe or hose and out of 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 property when heavy rainfall is more likely. The sump pump maintenance and inspection process should include these steps:

Make sure the sump pump is receiving power and that 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 going 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 as expected
