Sump Pump Failure

1/6/2022 (Permalink)

Storm damage usually means water damage. 

Did you know that when the electricity goes out during a storm there could be sump pump failure? It can happen! Here at SERVPRO of West Evansville we often get phone calls for just this reason! 

During a storm many people don't think to check that their sump pumps are functioning properly, but it is extremely important that they do! 

If your sump pump fails:

Be sure to get all of your stuff up off the floor. This is one of the easiest and quickest ways to prevent damage to your belonging. If you have furniture with wooden legs on it, wrap the legs with aluminum foil. This will keep the water from penetrating into the wood. 

During a storm, your sump pump COULD fail...causing water damage.

If that happens, give SERVPRO of West Evansville a call, we are happy to help. We are ALWAYS here to SERVE you.
