Sump Pumps

Here is something to consider after all the rains we just had, and the supply house ran out of sump pumps to sell. How many good pumps do you think were replaced? Before you call anyone to replace your sump pump, make sure its really dead. If the pump is running but the water isn't going out, the city sewer may be swamped, or your own storm drain may be swamped, and the pump just can't pump any more water into the pipe. The water will rise and mislead you into thinking your pump doesn't work. Hows it seem after the monsoon stops? If it suddenly seems better afterward the pump was fine. The sewer was not!
