Your elevator pit sump pump

Next time your elevator company comes out to visit have them check your elevator pit sump pump[if you have one].  In the Chicago area we had a lot of rain last year and we saw a lot of elevator pit sump pumps not work when they needed to.  If the pit sump pump is not working properly it can cause a lot of damage to the elevator system.  If we have standing water in an elevator pit, it is dark cold, no ventilation, etc water doesn’t go away quickly.  Call up your elevator maintenance company, find out when their next visit is and have them show you that their pit sump pump is working or not working.  If the sump pump is not working then get a plumber right away to avoid any issues with water in the pit.  The elevator professional should be the one to get them access to the elevator pit and stay for the whole visit to the building by the plumber.  We want to keep your equipment safe and the people working on elevator related equipment safe as well.
