Test your sump pump often. To ensure your sump pump remains in excellent working order, it's crucial to check it typically, specifically before summer or whenever you're expecting storms or high volumes of rainfall. To check it, simply pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The water must trigger the pump, which will switch on, eliminate the water and switch off if it's working as it should be.
Frequently inspect your washing machine hoses. Look for any wear and tear that could 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.
