Time to level up your home maintenance skills! 🛠️💧 Today, we’re tackling the sump pump check valve replacement. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Safety First: Always unplug your pump before starting to prevent accidental operation.

2. Upgrade Your Fittings: Swap those old compression fit valves for reliable Fernco-type fittings. They’re a game changer!

3. Flow Direction: Ensure the arrow on the new valve points away from your pump—this is crucial!

4. Testing Made Easy: Don’t wait for a flood—simply lift the float with something like a coat hanger to test it out.

Follow these steps to keep your basement dry and your pump running smoothly! #HomeRepair #SumpPump #DIYPlumbing #MaintenanceTips #WildHeartLegacy
