What is a sump pump? The purpose of sump pumps is to prevent any flooding and leaking issues. Essentially, a sump pump redistributes ground and rainwater to prevent it from entering your home’s basement, crawl space, or any location that exists below the groundwater line.

When a sump pump is installed, it is connected directly to your home’s electrical system. This means that should the power go out, your sump pump will power off unless it is equipped with a backup battery. If you are concerned about flooding in your home, you can count on the Columbus sump pump installation experts at The Rooter Works Plumbing and Drains.

Why Should I Regularly Check My Sump Pump?

We recommend that you regularly test your sump pump because if your sump pump fails to work, it can lead to:

  • Mold
  • Mildew
  • Extensive water damage in your home
  • Property damage

In addition to the property damages, the presence of mold and mildew is also dangerous for your health.

How Can I Check My Sump Pump?

You can perform a self-check of your sump pump’s functionality by dumping a large bucket of water in it. If your sump pump powers on and removes the water, it is in proper working order.
