Fall is definitly here. Despite how nice the weather has been the last day or so it will soon become colder and wetter. With wet weather the chances of getting a wet basement increases. If you have a sump pump it is important that you check to see that is is working. If it is old but still working it may still be a good idea to replace it to avoid problems.
In the image to the right you can see a sump pit filled with water. The teathered float is trapped against the side of the pit preventing the switch from turning on the pump.
If you have this type of sump pump you should check it to make sure it is not able to get trapped leading to standing water in your basement.
