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 remains in excellent working order, it's crucial to test it typically, especially before summertime or whenever you're expecting storms or high volumes of rainfall. To evaluate it, just pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The water must trigger the pump, which will turn on, get rid of the water and switch off if it's working as it must be.
Routinely examine your washing machine hoses. Look for any wear and tear that might cause leaks or flooding if left unnoticed. Also, prior to doing laundry, make sure your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which might flood the machine.
