Start by checking that the exterior drain pipe is clear of debris and directing water away from your foundation. Next, listen for the motor when the power’s on. Finally, pour a bucket of water into the pit — the pump should kick on automatically and drain quickly. If it doesn’t start or empty properly, call KB Complete to investigate further.

The best step is scheduling professional maintenance with KB Complete at least once a year. If you ever notice the pump behaving oddly, get a technician out to address it right away rather than waiting.
