Preventing Basement Sump Pump Flooding

There are several issues you can address in your home before flooding occurs to ensure that your basement sump pump can handle floodwaters.

• Faulty, damaged or obstructed sump pits.
• A malfunctioning inner float, which typically means there is debris stuck in the pump. Prevent this by keeping the filter and exterior grates clean.
• Overheated pumps, an issue typically caused by inadequate ventilation or clogs that leave the pump running without actually sucking up water.
• Undersized sump pumps, which can burn out quickly
• An old sump pump may no longer have compatible parts for repairs or handle as much water as a newer system. Older properties may not have a pump system in the basement at all.

SERVPRO’s Flood Damage Extraction Tools

SERVPRO techs have a wide array of water extraction tools at their disposal to address any size disaster. Both portable extractors and truck-mounted systems operate with three systems:

• A vacuum to suck up water
• A heating system for sanitation
• A pump system

All three are necessary for removing water from upholstery, but only the vacuum portion is needed for extracting water in most other applications.
