Is your sump pump ready for the upcoming spring rains? One way to check is by pouring enough water into the sump pump basin to make the float rise and activate the pump. If this doesn't happen you may need to have it serviced.
Another idea is to 'exercise' your outside faucet by turning it on and off. This should show if there are any drips or leaks you may not have known about.
