Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist

There are a few quick things you can do to ensure your sump pump is set up for efficiency.

Make sure the cord is in good shape.
Plug it into a GFCI outlet in case of power surges.
Ensure the pump is upright and not tipping to one side, since this can trigger the pump to not turn on when required.
If it’s been awhile since the pump has run, dump a bucket of water into the pit to check the pump starts and drains the water efficiently.
During arid conditions, take out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can get small stones in the grate over time.
Check the discharge pipe’s vent hole isn’t plugged.
