Key Maintenance Steps for Winter Readiness
J. Blanton Plumbing recommends the following steps to keep sump pumps in optimal condition:
1. Inspect and Test the Sump Pump: Check for proper operation by pouring water into the sump pit to ensure the pump activates and discharges water efficiently.
2. Clear the Discharge Line: Make sure the discharge line is free of debris and insulated to prevent freezing.
