SERVPRO of East Evansville knows, when a sump pumps fails, it’s often during a heavy rain period. This is due when the pump is working overtime to remove all the excess water that’s trying to seep in from outside. After a sump pump failure, water begins to leak through the foundation, basement walls, or any cracks in the cement. The water will pool in the lowest spots on the floor of the basement. It will start gradually rising if more water is able to come in. So what do you do at that point? 

Call SERVPRO of East Evansville Professionals at (812) 471-3132. Our professionals have the knowledge and skills to...

1. Quickly extract water from flooded basements with commercial pumps
2. Move items out of the basement to prevent damage
3. Remove damaged materials such as drywall to prevent mold growth
4. Quickly dry the moisture with commercial fans and dehumidifiers
5. Dry or Remove soaked carpet
6. Take moisture readings to ensure all moisture is removed

A sump pump is a relatively inexpensive water mitigation system. But like any piece of equipment in your home, it will eventually fail which can result in flooding, water backups, or water damage to your basement. If you’re in a flood prone area or don’t want to worry about what might happen if your sump pump fails, consider getting a basement water pump as an emergency backup for your sump pump, to help prevent future damage.
