Sump Pumps

With the surprise thunderstorms yesterday we want to remind homeowners that checking your sump pump, to make sure it is working properly, is a very important monthly maintenance task. You can check it by pouring water into the pit and allowing the sump pump to cycle itself. This will ensure that when you need it, the sump pump will operate correctly and prevent your basement/lower level from getting wet. Also, a sump pump only lasts so long and should be replaced periodically before it quits working. Sitting in the sump pit these pumps become corroded, sometime dry out and will not work when you need them. Talk to your plumbing company about replacement. Good luck!
