Basement and utility room plumbing tips and maintenance

Follow these maintenance tips to help you keep your basement and utility room in good working order:

Test your sump pump often. To guarantee your sump pump is in good working order, it's important to test it typically, particularly prior to summer or whenever you're anticipating storms or high volumes of rains. To evaluate it, merely pour a container of water into the sump pit. The water needs to trigger the pump, which will switch on, get rid of the water and shut off if it's working as it must be.
Regularly inspect your washing machine hoses. Check for any wear and tear that might trigger leakages or flooding if left undiscovered. Likewise, before doing laundry, make sure your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which could flood the machine.
