Sump Pump Failures
Sump pump failure can be a serious problem for homeowners. When your sump pump fails, it can lead to flooding in your basement or crawl space. This can cause water damage to your property and even create mold and mildew issues.
To prevent failure, it’s important to have your sump pump regularly inspected and maintained. You should also have a backup sump pump installed in case of power outages or mechanical failures.
If your sump pump does fail, it’s important to act quickly. Turn off the power to the affected area and contact a professional plumber or restoration company to assess the damage and determine the best course of action.
Remember, prevention is key! Make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and have a backup plan in place to protect your home and property.

What is a Sump Pump?
A sump pump is a device used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump basin, commonly found in the basement of homes. The water may enter via the perimeter drains of a basement waterproofing system, funneling into the basin or because of natural groundwater. The sump pump sends the water away from the house to any place where it is no longer problematic, such as a municipal storm drain or a dry well. Sump pumps are particularly useful in areas where flooding is common, or where the water table is higher than the foundation of the home.
