Where is my sump pump?
It's usually located in the lowest point of your home, such as the basin. It's called a
sump pump because it sits in a basin, otherwise known as a "sump." Extra water collects in the basin. When the water reaches a certain point, the pump senses it and turns on. It will pump any extra water out of your Vernon CT home to a dry well or storm drain. It's a pretty low-maintenance, "set it and forget it" piece of equipment. You should have it serviced once a year. Usually, the only time
you know that it failed is when you step into your new "pool" in the basement. An annual check-up by a local Vernon CT plumber will provide you peace of mind and protect the life of your investment.

With the amount of rain we get this time of year, your sump pump has to work hard to protect your home. Here's an easy way to test the equipment:
