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 remains in great working order, it's important to test it typically, especially before summer or whenever you're expecting storms or high volumes of rains. To evaluate it, just put a container of water into the sump pit. The water must activate the pump, which will turn on, remove the water and switch off if it's working as it should be.
Regularly check your washing machine hoses. Look for any wear and tear that could trigger leakages or flooding if left undetected. Also, before doing laundry, make sure your drain hose isn't folded or kinked, which could flood the machine.
