Performing a sump pump inspection is a simple task that can be completed either by a homeowner or by our team. If you’re choosing to inspect it yourself, follow these steps:
Check to ensure your pump is plugged in and standing upright
Inspect your fuse or breaker box to confirm it hasn’t blown or tripped
Check that any backup power system is operational
Pour a large bucket of water to confirm the pump works
Find the outlet pipe outside the home and clear away any debris
Sump pump inspections should be performed several times a year, especially in the spring when it’s absolutely essential that your pump be functional.
