The fact that sump pumps rely on <br />electricity does make them vulnerable in the <br />event of a power outage. Sump pumps with <br />battery backup are available and an option to <br />ensure pump operation. Ensure the pump is <br />standing upright. Vibration can cause it to fall or <br />tilt to one side possibly jamming the float arm <br />and preventing operation. Periodically pour a <br />bucket of water into the pit to make sure the <br />pump starts and water drains. Contact a qualified <br />Election 2014 <br />contractor if the pump <br />doesn't start.
