Once you have converted your basement to your dream rec room, media center, or man cave, your top priority is keeping the space dry. An efficiently-working sump pump is crucial to keeping groundwater out. If you feel like your sump pump isn’t working quite right, it might just need to be cleaned. Many pumps should be cleaned once per year, but check your owner’s manual for more information. If you want to clean your sump pump yourself, here are some tips from the plumbing experts at Indy Renovation.
Before beginning your task, always take safety precautions. Be sure to unplug your sump pump, discontinue any use of home appliances that use water, and wear protective gloves. You should also prep your cleaning area and have all of the necessary tools readily available for easy access.
While you are carefully cleaning each piece, be sure to check for damaged or cracked components. If your pump is still not working correctly, or if you do not feel comfortable completing this process on your own, contact a professional plumber at Indy Renovation at (317) 375-4464. We have 50-plus years of experience working with sump pumps, well pumps, water heaters, water conditioners, and pipe repairs in the Indianapolis area, so give us a call for all of your plumbing needs.
