To turn a sump pump back on after it has been unplugged or shut off, verify that the pit is clear of major debris, ensure the discharge pipe outside is unobstructed by ice or mud, and plug the pump's power cord firmly into a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet (or GFCI outlet) located near the basin. If the pump is hardwired, switch its designated circuit breaker back to the ON position at your main electrical panel. Verification: Pour a bucket of water directly into the sump pit to watch the float switch rise and confirm the motor activates and pumps water out automatically.
