So I sprung a leak on Saturday past

I came home and the sump level was down a little more than usual... and the carpet was a little damp... and the sump side of the stand was slowly dripping water. So in a mad panic I started looking for the leak... couldn't really tell where it was coming from so I ripped it all apart:







Which sucked b/c as you can see the remainder of my stuff that I moved in after the wedding is not even fully unpacked / organizing

So I leak tested the sump and the overflow and everything seemed fine... at which point I realized that I had not cleaned the gutter guard in a while. So I'm pretty sure the water was slowly dripping over the edge of the tank into the sump chamber and onto the floor b/c for those who remember the floor is actually slightly tilted to that side so it'll overflow the tank on the sump side first.

SO needless to say I felt like a bit of an idiot but it was nice to rip it all apart and see that it's not a huge job when it needs done. Plus I was able to give everything a good clean and position my pump a tiny bit better when I reconnected the piping.

But it's now Thursday and everything is doing fine and no more water on the floor so all is good and I'm pretty sure the gutter guard was the only problem
