A readiness check is about the visible pit, pump, power, discharge route, alarm, backup, and maintenance record. It should not involve entering the pit or improvising electrical work.

Five observations that shape this decision
Keep each item as evidence for the call. None of these observations establishes a hidden cause by itself.
Power path
Know which outlet or backup serves the unit without handling wet electrical parts.
Discharge route
Ask where water is directed and who can approve any proposed change.
Alarm status
Record the indicator or test explained by the responsible professional.
Service history
Find the last maintenance, replacement, and backup-battery date before the call.
Problem pathway
Move from the visible clue to supported work
Ask a qualified provider which components are plumbing, electrical, drainage, or equipment work and whether any Town approval or discharge rule applies. Use current storm guidance for broader property safety.
