As we inch closer to Spring, it’s important to test the functionality of your sump pump system. Spring in South Dakota brings with it unique challenges as a homeowner. With rain and snow both possible within the same day, sump pumps are often working overtime come Spring. 

A snowstorm in the Spring can blanket the ground with snow cover. As this snow melts, it saturates the ground. This can cause an issue when a rain shower comes through. As the ground water levels have already reached saturation, a heavy rain can cause flooding and sump pump backups. 

it is crucial to test your sump pump now, so you have time to see if you need to make any upgrades to your system. Get ahead of any potential issues in your home.
