Water issues in a home are common and can result in many a sleepless night for homeowners. Leaks or damp conditions can lead to damage in a home and a large financial investment. Sump pumps are often part of an easy water management system. Due to high water tables or flood-prone areas, some homes are more susceptible to water infiltra- tion. The type of soil under the home or even in the region also may contribute to water-entry issues in the home. Homeowners may find water accumu- lates in the basement or crawlspace, or other low- lying areas of the residence. A sump pump can be an effective means to removing water from the home. A sump pump is a device that pumps water out of the home to a place where it can drain properly. The pump is often placed in a sump pit, which is a hole dug into the lowest-lying point in a basement or crawl space. The pit is lined with gravel. Most sump pumps are submersible types, which means the motor and electronic components are housed within a sealed, waterproof plastic shell. The sub- mersible pump can be placed directly in the pit in the accumulated water. A pedestal pump is another type of sump pump that elevates the motor on a stick, keeping it out of the water. Because the motor isn’t contained, these pumps tend to be less expen- sive, but louder to use. Submersible pumps may not last as long as pedestal pumps simply because they spend a lot of time below water. Sump pumps can work in a few different ways. A common type uses a float that rests on the surface of the water, much like the float inside of a toilet tank. When the water rises to a certain level, the float rises as well, triggering the motor to turn on and expel the water. A pump with a pressure sensor works by having the water, which is heavier than air, trigger a sensor that will activate the motor. Inside of most sump pumps is an impeller, which looks like fan blades that spin the collected water and, through centrifugal force, pushes it into a dis- charge pipe. This pipe exits the house and usually drains far away from the foundation. The discharge pipe likely has a check valve that prevents water from seeping back through the pipe into the sump pump. Homeowners also can choose manual sump pumps. But, unlike automatic pumps, manual pumps require a person to turn the pump on and off. Due to the fact that sump pumps are electrical devices that work off of regular household current, it’s important to have a ground fault interruptor (GFI) installed at the outlet where the pump will be plugged. This way the power can be turned off should an electrical surge take place. Sump pumps can only be used where there are minor water problems in a home. Flooding or severe conditions may require alternative situations that are best handled by a professional service.

For homeowners, this is the perfect opportunity to assess any damage the previous months did to yards and develop a plan restore properties. * Don’t jump the gun. The first warm day of spring might seem like a great time get out in the yard and get your hands dirty. But it’s best to wait until the grass has completely dried out before getting to work. Rak- ing on wet grass increases the risk of tearing out grass, which can cause bald spots and the growth of weeds down the road. In addition, stepping on the grass while the ground is still wet can compact the soil, which can slow drainage and block the lawn’s roots from breathing. Patience should prevail with regard to mowing the lawn as well. A lawn’s roots will not start to grow until the average everyday temperature routinely reaches 40 F, so mowing too early is both unnecessary and po- tentially harmful to the lawn. When the temperatures regularly reach 50 F, then homeowners will likely start to see their lawns growing. * Remove debris that’s piled up. Debris has a ten- dency to infest a yard over the course of the winter months. Fallen branches, stones and even trash can accumulate in a yard, putting those who spend time in the yard at risk of injury once the warm weather returns. For instance, bits of twigs and pebbles that are blown across the yard during a windy winter can be embedded in the yard, making the yard less of a haven and more of a hazard. Once the grass is dry enough to walk on, walk around the property and remove any debris that’s piled up over the last few months. * Employ a pre-emergent weed killer. Homeowners who routinely spend their summers agonizing over weeds throughout the yard should consider apply- ing a pre-emergent weed killer around the beginning of spring. It’s important to do so around the end of March or early April, when the weeds have not yet had a chance to grow. When applying, follow the dos- age instructions provided by the product’s manufac- turer. Such instructions often recommend a second ap- plication right before summer begins. * Remove thatch. Once the grass has dried, you can begin to remove thatch that’s built up over the win- ter. Thatch is potentially very harmful to soil, blocking sunlight, air and moisture the soil needs to ensure a lawn looks lush and healthy. Thatch removal does not necessarily need to be an annual task. If thatch build- up is insignificant, then it can be done every other year. Just use a dethatching rake to make the job much easier. * Aerate, particularly if the yard is a heavy traffic area once the warm weather arrives. If your yard trans- forms into a child’s wonderland upon the arrival of spring and summer, you might want to revive the soil by aerating. When the yard gets heavy usage, it’s easy for soil to become compacted, which makes it hard for air and water to reach the lawn’s roots. That can even- tually make for a less-than-appealing lawn. So if your yard is the place to be come the warmer months, aer- ate in the spring to loosen the soil and make it easier for the lawn to withstand the months ahead. No matter how harsh the winter months might have been, spring is a great time for homeowners to restore the property around their homes.

Water issues in a home are common and can result in many a sleepless night for homeowners. Leaks or damp conditions can lead to damage in a home and a large financial investment. Sump pumps are often part of an easy water management system.
Due to high water tables or flood-prone areas, some homes are more susceptible to water infiltra-tion. The type of soil under the home or even in the region also may contribute to water-entry issues in the home. Homeowners may find water accumu-lates in the basement or crawlspace, or other low-lying areas of the residence. A sump pump can be an effective means to removing water from the home.
A sump pump is a device that pumps water out of the home to a place where it can drain properly. The pump is often placed in a sump pit, which is a hole dug into the lowest-lying point in a basement or crawl space. The pit is lined with gravel. Most sump pumps are submersible types, which means the motor and electronic components are housed
within a sealed, waterproof plastic shell. The sub-mersible pump can be placed directly in the pit in the accumulated water. A pedestal pump is another type of sump pump that elevates the motor on a stick, keeping it out of the water. Because the motor isn’t contained, these pumps tend to be less expen-sive, but louder to use. Submersible pumps may not last as long as pedestal pumps simply because they spend a lot of time below water.

Homeowners should learn sump pump basics
SpringOne of the best things about the dawn of spring and
the return of warmer weather is the chance to get out of the house and get some fresh air. For homeowners, this is the perfect opportunity to assess any damage the previous months did to yards and develop a plan restore properties.
* Don’t jump the gun. The first warm day of spring might seem like a great time get out in the yard and get your hands dirty. But it’s best to wait until the grass has completely dried out before getting to work.

Once winter has come and gone, adults and children alike are typically anxious to get out-side and soak up some spring sun. Few things are as rejuvenat-ing as those first few spring days, when the harsh winter weather is instantly forgotten and the smell of fresh grass is comfortably over-whelming.
When saying “so long” to cabin fever this spring, consider the fol-lowing outdoor activities that are sure to put a spring in your step.
GolfMany golf courses re-open in
the spring. Though some public courses stay open throughout the winter, the majority of courses do close once the weather becomes too unbearable for golfers to en-dure or too detrimental to the course’s landscape. Depending on how harsh the winter was and the forecast for spring, golf cours-es typically re-open their links as early as the first week of March. Even if your favorite course doesn’t open quickly enough, you can still dust off your swing with a visit to the local driving range.
FishMany fishermen feel like fish-
ing season never ends, choosing to simply add another layer of clothing when the temperatures drop rather than pack it up and wait till spring. For the hobby-ist, however, spring is typically a time to find a favorite fishing
hole and get back to business. How successful a fishing trip will be typically depends on a host of factors, including water tempera-ture. Oftentimes, the local news-paper will list the water tempera-ture of the area’s favorite fishing areas. Once na-ture decides to cooperate, get outside and en-joy the first catch of the season.
CyclingP e r h a p s
thanks to sev-en-time Tour de France win-ner Lance Arm-strong, cycling has grown in-creasingly popu-lar stateside in the 21st century. Many communi-ties have cycling groups for riders of varying skill levels, and such groups typically hit the pavement once the spring season arrives. When joining a group, be sure to join one that’s suited to your skill level. If cycling alone, be patient at the beginning and don’t stray too far. Remember, you’ll eventu-ally need to turn around and start pedaling home.
Join a Sports LeagueAdults can relive the days of
their youth by signing up to play
in a local sports league. Such leagues are often ideal for young singles, who can team up with fellow young people to play any number of sports, including soft-ball, beach volleyball, basketball, and even the old standby of el-
ementary school,
kickball.RunWinter can test even the most
devoted of runners. For those who simply can’t run in the throes of winter, when snow and ice cover the roadways, spring is the first chance to get back outdoors and
run in the fresh air. Lo-cal road runner clubs are a great opportuni-ty to meet fellow run-ners or learn of local competitions. When running, be sure to bring along some gear to keep you relatively dry should those inev-itable spring showers arrive.
