Frequently asked questions
We recommend testing your sump pump at least once every three months, and before the spring thaw or heavy rain seasons. Regular testing helps ensure the pump will operate when you need it most.
A backup pump provides an extra layer of protection if the primary pump fails or loses power. For properties with a history of water intrusion or in areas with high water tables, a backup is strongly recommended.
