Common Causes of Sump Pump Failure

Sump Pump Maintenance Checklist

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

1. Ensure the cord is in decent shape.
2. Plug it into a GFCI outlet in anticipation of power surges.
3. Confirm the pump is upright and not tilting to one side, since this can lead the pump to not turn on when needed.
4. If the pump hasn’t been on recently, pour a bucket of water into the pit to make sure the pump starts and drains the water rapidly.
5. During drought-like weather, take out the sump pump and clean the grate on the bottom since it can draw small stones into the grate over time.
6. Make sure the discharge pipe’s vent hole is clear.
