Still in the afterglow of being new homeowners we were occasionally ditching the city apartment and staying at the house with Byron to make an attempt at cleaning, changing all the locks, and make a few repairs. The first big spring rain brought a great surprise…a broken sump pump! Fortunately we didn’t get too much water in the basement and we didn’t have any of our belongings in the basement yet. Mr. P. had a *wonderful* day cleaning out the water and that evening we had a self taught crash course on sump pumps. We also managed to actually replace the pump ourselves!
Since our little adventure we have been hyper aware of the sump pump and every year since, almost to the day, our sump pump has had some sort of issue. I’m beginning to wonder if that corner of our basement is possessed!
