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 frequently, specifically before summer or whenever you're anticipating storms or high volumes of rains. To check it, merely pour a container of water into the sump pit. The water needs to trigger the pump, which will turn on, eliminate the water and switch off if it's working as it needs to be.
Frequently examine your washing machine hoses. Check for any wear and tear that could trigger leaks or flooding if left undetected. Likewise, prior to doing laundry, ensure your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which might flood the machine.
