# Sump Pump Check in Greenville County, SC

Before heavy fall rains in Greenville County, test the sump pump so it is ready when the pit fills. Fix problems now instead of during a flood.

- Pour a bucket of water into the pit to confirm the float switch turns the pump on.
- Make sure the discharge line outside is clear and not frozen or buried.
- If you have a battery backup, check that it is charged and connected.
- Replace a noisy, old, or unreliable pump before it fails in a storm.
