That week my basement flooded and I learned the hard way about sump pump maintenance
Last spring we got 6 inches of rain in 3 days here in Portland and my sump pump quit on day 2. I came home from work to 4 feet of water in the basement, ruined my tools and a furnace that was only 2 years old. The pump was clogged with a plastic bag that had been sitting in the sump pit since I moved in. Has anyone else had a sump pump fail during a big storm and found out something stupid simple caused it?

Honestly that sucks. A stupid plastic bag did the same to me last winter.

Tried a heavy duty canvas tote instead and it held up way better.
