Local notes for homeowners
Test your sump pump every spring and before autumn storms. A pump left idle all summer can stick, and the first sign is a wet basement.
In stacked townhouses, leaks can travel between units. Know where your shut-off is and keep the area under sinks clear enough to see a drip.
