To ensure that your kitchen plumbing is properly insulated to prevent freezing during cold weather, you can:<br /><br />1. Insulate exposed pipes with foam pipe insulation.<br />2. Seal any gaps or cracks near pipes to prevent cold air from reaching them.<br />3. Keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.<br />4. Use heat tape or heating cables on pipes in extremely cold areas.<br />5. Maintain a consistent temperature in your home, especially during cold spells.

To keep your sump pump in optimal condition and extend its lifespan, it is recommended to:<br /><br />1. Test the sump pump regularly by pouring water into the sump pit to ensure it activates properly.<br />2. Clean the sump pit and remove any debris that may obstruct the pump.<br />3. Check the pump and float switch for proper operation and make any necessary repairs or replacements.<br />4. Ensure the discharge pipe is clear of obstructions and directs water away from the foundation.<br />5. Consider installing a backup power source, such as a battery backup or generator, to ensure the pump functions during power outages.<br />6. Have a licensed plumber inspect the sump pump annually to identify any potential issues and perform maintenance as needed.

The most common causes of sewer drain clogs are grease buildup, tree roots infiltrating the pipes, flushing non-flushable items, and mineral deposits accumulating over time.

A licensed plumber would recommend having your sump pump inspected and maintained at least once a year to ensure it functions properly during heavy rainfall.
