Sump Pump Failure

7/21/2021 (Permalink)

A sump pump is great to have and amazing when it works, but if it ever has a fault or stops working entirely, it could lead to some major problems. A sump pump is a pump that is used to remove water that has come into the home and are commonly found in basements. When a sump pump fails, there is no way for it to know when water is getting to high, which then leads to flooded basements and costly repairs. Once the sump pump fails and water stops flowing, it is a good idea to go check on the sump pump and try and determine the issue. The next thing you would want to do is contact SERVPRO of Boone & Clinton Counties to come out and extract the water that has settled in your basement. After getting the water out, SERVPRO will then try and pinpoint the issue, so they can give a solution on how to fix the sump pump. Sometimes it could just be a power surge that made it fail and all it takes is a reset of the breaker. Other times, it could actually be faulty and need replaced.
