So last weekend I woke up to the sound no homeowner wants to hear: heavy rain and the sump pump alarm going off. After a brief panic (okay, maybe not so brief), I ran downstairs and started my usual routine—turning off power, checking the pump, clearing debris, etc. Basically, unplugging it, checking float switch, cleaning intake area, and then restarting. But I wonder if there's a better order or if I'm missing something crucial. How do you guys handle it when your basement starts turning into an indoor pool?
