- Confirm the sump pump discharge moves water away from the foundation.
- Know where your backwater valve is and keep access clear.
- Keep photos and service records for documentation.
When to call
If you see sewer smell, slow drains, pump cycling, water stains, or basement seepage after rain, book a plumbing assessment before the next storm.
