Hi everyone, it’s Pierre with Overview Property Inspection! Here’s a tip many homeowners overlook: your sump pump area can be a hidden source of air leaks.
Check the wires and lid: Make sure there’s a rubber gasket around the wires and that the sump pump lid is fully sealed. Watch for airflow: Even moving cobwebs can reveal leaks coming from the weeping tile. Understand the impact: Air leaks here can reduce indoor air quality, bring in earthy odors, and even allow radon into your home. Extra tip: If the lid only has screws at the corners, consider adding a few more to create a tighter, more reliable seal.Taking a few minutes to fix leaks around your sump pump can improve comfort, protect your home, and make your indoor air healthier.
Right tools, Right training, The Right Choice!
