Good to know about sump pump repair
FEMA notes sump pumps are not designed to handle large amounts of water and will not work when electricity is off unless you add battery storage or a generator.
fema.govFEMA's homeowner checklist asks whether your sump pump has battery backup, whether there is an alarm to warn when water rises above the top of the sump, and whether the pump is maintained annually.
fema.govEPA advises keeping roof drains, sump pumps and other rainwater drainage away from a septic drainfield area.
