What Does a Sump Pump Do?

Sump pumps are often installed in a gap dug at the cheapest point in the basement of your home. This allows excess groundwater or water from rains or floods to flow to the pit. Once 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 of the pit via 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, right before storm season. This ensures that the pump is able to protect your house when heavy rainfall is more likely. The sump pump maintenance and inspection process will include these steps:

Make certain 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 does not come on, call your plumbing professional for repair.

Test the sump pump by lifting the float switch when there is one. Again, repair is likely to be necessary if the pump does not activate.

Fill the pit with clean water a few 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
