Spring brings melting snow and heavy rains, making it critical to ensure your sump pump is ready for the season. Testing your sump pump now can help you avoid flooding later.
Steps to Test Your Sump Pump
- Inspect the Power Source – Verify that the pump is plugged into a working outlet and the cord is free of damage.
- Pour Water into the Pit – Slowly pour water into the sump pit until the float rises and activates the pump.
- Watch the Discharge Line – Make sure water exits the line without leaks or blockages.
- Check Backup Systems – Test the battery backup or secondary pump to confirm they’re operational.
Stay Protected
Pair your pump with a Smart Outlet 2.0 for real-time alerts and performance tracking. Stay ahead of spring floods with proactive testing and smart monitoring!
