Have you checked your sump pump lately???

* Test your sump pump at least once every three months. You don't want to find out your sump pump isn't working during the middle of a storm. At minimum, you should test your sump pumps once a year. Testing your system is really simple. Grab a 5 gallon bucket, fill it with water, and slowly pour water into the sump pump until the float triggers activate your pump. Watch the water level drop and if everything is working properly, the sump pump will shut back off once the water drops below the shutoff level.

* Sump pump lines can freeze just like water lines. If sump pump lines aren't buried at the proper depth, lines can begin to freeze once temperatures hit the freezing mark.

* Battery backup sump pumps are a wise investment. Do you find that your sump pump stops working when you need it the most? When a bad storm strikes, lightening and strong winds can knock out power lines. Having a battery backup sump pump helps keep your basement from flooding when the electricity goes out.

It's show time! Show run tonight until 9pm, Sat 10am-8pm, and Sunday 12pm-5pm.

FAQ'S FOR FLOODED SPACES
If my water heater was in a flood, do I need to replace it?

The The Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) recommends that any flood-damaged heating and cooling equipment be replaced, not repaired.

From the AHRI website (www.ahrinet.org), as it pertains to water heaters:
Whether your water heater is gas-fired, oil-fired or electric, if it was exposed to flood water, the unit should be replaced. In a gas unit, valves and controls will likely corrode. In an electric unit, the thermostat and controls will likely corrode. In both types, the insulation surrounding the unit will be contaminated and will be nearly impossible to disinfect.

Additionally, the insulation will take a long time to dry completely and may lead to corrosion of the tank from the outside.

Be sure that at time of the new water heaters installation, the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve is new as well. Using a Temperature and Pressures Relief Valve that was subject to flood water is not advisable.

Prior to connecting the gas supply line to a gas fired water heater, ensure that the gas supply line does not have moisture/water or dirt/scale inside the gas line. Commonly this check is done at the lowest point in the gas distribution system prior to gas burning appliances.
