If you have a pump for a fixture in your home it is very important to do routine preventative maintenance on them. Pumps are mainly used in situations where gravity cannot get the water out. That’s why most of the time you’ll find them in basements.
Depending on the usage the pump should be pulled out and the pump chamber emptied of left over solids and debris the pumps cannot pump. Pumps are very susceptible to clogs.
Today we pulled out this pump after it stopped pumping. We knew immediately what was wrong when we found it covered it hair. After removing the hair stuck in the pump and emptying out the pump chamber they were back in business.
