It’s Sump Pump Season!

When the rains come to Colorado Springs your sump pump becomes paramount.  The maintenance and repair of your sump pump is vital.  Your basement sump pump sits quietly all year, then comes the rainy season in the Colorado Springs area and suddenly it becomes the most important part of your home preventing basement flooding.

Here are some common checking tips for your sump pump: 

1.  Check the float.  This is where it all begins.

2.  Clean and scrape out the sump pit…removing loose items that have built up

3.  Check the impeller.  Debris goes through the screen and jams the impeller

4.  The electrical connection needs to be plugged in properly with no fraying in the cord.
