Heavy rains and spring thaws can overwhelm an unprepared sump pump. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Corpus Christi recommends this quick checklist:
✅ Test your sump pump by pouring a bucket of water into the pit - it should turn on automatically and pump the water out quickly.
✅ Clean the sump pit of any debris, gravel, or sediment that could clog the pump or block the float switch.
✅ Check the discharge pipe to make sure it’s clear and directing water at least 20 feet away from your foundation.
✅ Consider installing a battery backup sump pump so you’re protected even during power outages caused by storms.
A working sump pump is your basement’s best defense against flooding! If your sump pump fails its test or hasn’t been serviced in a while, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Corpus Christi. We offer sump pump repair, replacement, and installation services to keep your home dry and protected.
