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 remains in great working order, it's important to evaluate it typically, specifically prior to summer or whenever you're anticipating storms or high volumes of rainfall. To test it, just put a container of water into the sump pit. The water should trigger the pump, which will turn on, get rid of the water and turn off if it's working as it needs to be.
Routinely inspect your washing machine hoses. Check 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 might flood the machine.
