This time of year in Chattanooga the thermometer dips into
the 30’s on a frequent basis. Cold
weather takes a toll on almost everything.
The truth is, basements tend to be colder and less insulated, which
could potentially cause your sump pump to freeze. A frozen sump pump could cause your home lots
of damage!
Here are some things you can do to prevent sump pump failure
in winter –
1. Redirect the
waterflow to make your sump pump’s work a little easier.
2. Put heating tape
around the intake and discharge line.
3. Keep your home
always above 55 degrees.
4. Install a battery
back-up.
For that final task as well as any maintenance or
installation of a new unit please rely on the sump pump experts in the
Chattanooga area. That would be All Home

time of year is one of their many areas of expertise. Call All Home Plumbing anytime at (423)
