You can maintain your sump pump every few months by cleaning its inlet screen. Dumping a bucket of water into the pit up to the float switch can help you ensure your pump is still working correctly. Once a year, it is a good idea to replace your pump, clean out the sump, and inspect the pit. Better yet, give us a call at Budget Waterproofing, and we’ll handle the sump pump maintenance for you if you’re in the Baltimore, MD area.
