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 good working order, it's important to check it often, particularly before summertime or whenever you're expecting storms or high volumes of rainfall. To test it, merely put a bucket of water into the sump pit. The water should activate the pump, which will switch on, remove the water and shut off if it's working as it must be.
Regularly examine your washing machine hoses. Look for any wear and tear that might cause leakages or flooding if left undetected. Also, prior to doing laundry, ensure your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which could flood the machine.
