Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few easy things you can do to ensure your sump pump is set up for efficiency.
- Make sure the cord is in decent shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
- Confirm the pump is upright and not tipping to one side, since this can lead the pump to not activate when called for.
- If the pump hasn’t been on recently, pour a bucket of water into the pit to verify the pump runs and pulls out the water quickly.
- During dry weather, pull out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can get small stones in the grate over time.
