When You Need a Sump Pump

If your basement floods during heavy rain or you see standing water near the foundation, a sump pump is essential. Homes in high water table areas benefit the most.

Maintenance

Clean the pit of debris annually, test the float switch, and check that the discharge line is clear. Replace the pump every 7-10 years as a preventive measure.

Primary pumps last 7-10 years on average. Test yours annually by pouring water into the pit.
Where should the discharge go?
