Keeping Your Basement Safe with a Sump Pump
A sump pump plays a huge role in keeping your basement dry, preventing the growth of potentially harmful microorganisms, and minimizing hydrostatic pressure on the foundation. It has a high/low water alarm that enables homeowners to prevent an overflow, avoiding appliance rusting and severe internal damage. Save your basement from groundwater flooding or water damage with a new sump pump installation. It is also an added value to your home as prospective home buyers look at it as a sign of a well-cared home.
Tips for Your Sump Pump Maintenance
In case you do not service your sump pump, it could lead to expensive and destructive flooding. Make sure to service your sump pump either semi-annually or annually to keep it working at its best. If you plan to maintain your sump pump on your own, you can start by unplugging the pump, checking it for rust and cleaning its inlet screen. Next, you can lubricate the pump bearings, remove debris from the sump basin and fill the basin with water. Lastly, check the pump’s discharge pipe for any dirt or vegetation and verify it drains completely.
Preventing Basement Flooding with a Backwater Valve
Backwater valves are quite beneficial for homeowners when it comes to preventing your basement from exterior sewer backup flooding. Make an affordable investment in backwater valves today. This valve regulates a single way flow from your home to the sewer. Once it spots any backflow, it will shut off and block anything from making a return. Protect your basement from sewer backup flooding with a new backwater valve installation. If your current backwater valve shows signs of wear and tear, get in touch with us for a backwater valve replacement.
Tips for Your Backwater Valve Maintenance
While it is essential to maintain your backwater valve regularly, it is also crucial to properly dispose of items to protect your backwater valve and the sewer system. Check your valve and make sure it is functioning at its optimum every two to three months. If you plan to maintain your backwater valve on your own, start by loosening the cover and removing and cleaning components. Next, you can check the seals and sealing surfaces, protect the seal, and re-grease if necessary. Lastly, you can ascertain the service closures’ tightness with the help of a functional test.
