What Does a Sump Pump Do?

Sump pumps usually are installed in a hole dug at the best point in the basement of your home. This permits excess groundwater or water from rains or floods to flow into the pit. When the water level in the pit reaches a specified depth, it trips a float switch that activates the sump pump. The device then pumps water out from the pit by way of a pipe or hose and out 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 able to protect your home when heavy rainfall is more likely. The sump pump maintenance and inspection process includes these steps:

Make sure the sump pump is receiving power and that all connections are safe.

Clear dirt and debris from the pit.

Fill the sump pit to the level needed to activate the pump. If the pump does not come on, call your plumbing professional for repair.

Test the sump pump by lifting the float switch if you have one. Again, repair will be necessary if the pump does not activate.

Fill the pit with clean water several times and cycle this water through the pump to completely clean away any dirt or material inside it if the sump pump activates not surprisingly
