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 ensure your sump pump is in excellent working order, it's important to check it often, particularly before summer or whenever you're anticipating storms or high volumes of rainfall. To evaluate it, just put a pail of water into the sump pit. The water needs to activate the pump, which will turn on, remove the water and shut off if it's working as it needs to be.
Frequently examine your washing machine hoses. Look for any wear and tear that could cause leakages or flooding if left undiscovered. Likewise, before doing laundry, make certain your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which could flood the machine.
