How Do I Troubleshoot Problems with My Basement Sump Pump?

The sump pump is one of the main lines of defense for minimizing basement flooding. However, problems can arise from inconsistent maintenance, older systems, pump size, or clogs and debris in your system. Keep an eye out for these common sump pump issues:

• Clogged or frozen discharge lines
• Obstructions in the intake
• A burnt-out or overwhelmed pump
• Power outages, which can leave your pump unable to drain water

What Does SERVPRO Use to Extract Floodwaters?

After a flash flood, it may not be safe to use your electrical system to power extraction. SERVPRO is ready to bring power sources that allow for effective floodwater and debris extraction using truck-mounted pump systems. Submersible, gas-powered sump pumps can supplement water removal if there is still water at least two inches deep in your basement. Thorough extraction is key to sanitizing and drying your home safely.
