1. Test your sump pump! Pour a bucket of water into the pit and see if it works, your sump pump should turn on automatically. Before doing this check for debris in the pit. Sump pumps typically last 5-7 years, don’t wait until its to late to have this replaced.
2. Check for leaking plumbing. Cold winter temperatures can cause pipes to contractor or freeze and over time cause tiny cracks.
3. Look for slow draining sinks and backed up pipes.
