Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist
There are a few simple things you can do to verify your sump pump is primed for efficiency.
- Make sure the cord is in acceptable shape.
- Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
- Ensure the pump is upright and not tipping to one side, since this can lead the pump to not activate when required.
- If the pump hasn’t been on recently, pour a bucket of water into the pit to verify the pump starts and removes the water rapidly.
- During drought-like weather, remove the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can draw small stones into the grate over time.
- Make sure the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
