Causes of a Sump Pump Failure

Do you have a sump pump failure? If so, seek a water damage and flood restoration company immediately.

Many homes in Maryland have basements with at least one sump pump. They are crucial if a homeowner has invested money in refinishing their basement or if essential items or furnishings are placed there. But like any appliance piece in your home, it will eventually fail, leading to flooding or water damage to your basement. Do you have a sump pump failure? If so, seek a water damage and flood restoration company immediately.

Reasons for a Sump Pump Failure

A sump pump failure often happens during heavy rain when the pump is overworking to remove the excess water attempting to enter from the outside. After a sump pump fails to work, water leaks through the foundation and basement cracks in the cement. Additionally, the water will collect in the lowest areas on the basement floor, slowly increasing if more water can come in. Most often, you will need to contact a water damage and flood restoration company to restore your property.

Call a Restoration Professional for Heavy Basement Flooding

If the flooding situation worsens in your basement and you feel it’s more than you can handle, please call for backup from a water damage and flood restoration company. For example, North Arundel Contracting in Glen Burnie, Maryland, can do the following:

  • Quickly eliminate water from your flooded basement with our commercial pumps
  • Transfer items out of your basement to prevent property damage
  • Remove damaged materials, such as drywall, to prevent mold growth or commence the mold removal process
  • Expedite the drying process with commercial dehumidifiers and fans
  • Dry or remove the soaked carpet
  • Confirm all moisture is gone

Prevent Basement Flooding

If you want to avoid worrying about what might happen if your sump pump fails or you are in a flood-prone area, consider installing a basement water pump. This pump type can work continuously during heavy rain and remove pooling water through a garden hose attached to a sink, tub, or other drain.
