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 is in great working order, it's essential to test it often, especially before summertime or whenever you're expecting storms or high volumes of rains. To evaluate it, just pour a pail of water into the sump pit. The water needs to trigger the pump, which will turn on, get rid of the water and turn off if it's working as it should be.
Regularly inspect your washing machine hoses. Look for any wear and tear that might trigger leakages or flooding if left undetected. Also, prior to doing laundry, make certain your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which could flood the machine.
