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 excellent working order, it's crucial to test it often, particularly prior to summertime or whenever you're expecting storms or high volumes of rains. To evaluate it, just pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The water must activate 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 leaks or flooding if left undiscovered. Likewise, prior to doing laundry, make sure your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which could flood the machine.
