Good luck to you! We are having a lot of flooding here today too and the first thing I'll do when I get home is make sure the sump pump has been chugging along today without issue...

Quoted from Monk:You can test your pump by lifting the float with your finger. Just lift the float and see if the water level goes down. Release the float when the water drops to the intake of the pump. If it turns on, put the water doesn't go down then there is a problem with the pump.
Yep. A sump pump is easily tested, and easily replaced. Ryan's setup is a little bit harder as he has a sealed sump due to the radon system.
I replaced my sump pump a couple years ago since mine would occasionally trip the breaker when it went off and I was NOT going to risk that happening during a storm. The process is very easy but my radon system made it a bit more of a pain due to the airtight requirement and caulking required.
