Sump pump failures are one of the most common calls we get during and after storm events. Although a sump pump is supposed to prevent basements from flooding, they can often fail when overloaded with too much water. Another reason why your sump pump might fail is if there is a power outage during a storm.

 In this case, the homeowner's sump pump failed causing the 4000 square foot basement to flood with an inch of water. There affected materials included carpet, pad, drywall, ceramic tile, and parquet flooring. Our crew was out there within an hour of receiving the call in order to prevent any further damage from occurring. Dealing with a sump pump loss during a storm can be stressful, know that you can trust SERVPRO of Rochester MI to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
