In a region that sees heavy rain and snowmelt, a working sump pump is essential for keeping your Macomb County basement dry. A little maintenance goes a long way.
Test It Regularly
Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit. The pump should kick on, remove the water, and shut off. Do this a few times a year — and before spring storms.
Keep the Pit Clean
Debris and sediment can clog the pump and float switch. Periodically check the pit and clear out any buildup.
Consider a Battery Backup
Power often goes out during the very storms when you need your pump most. A battery backup keeps it running when the electricity doesn’t.
Know the Warning Signs
Strange noises, constant running, or a pump that won’t turn on are signs it’s time for service or replacement. Don’t wait for the next big storm to find out it’s failed.
