Sometimes a sump pump will fail, especially when there is a loss of electricity during a storm. Damage could be extensive to your home.

Water damage is one of the worst problems a homeowner may have to deal with.   Today’s basements are finished as family rooms, offices or man caves and you will want to protect your investment from any possible water damage.

 A sump pump sits in your basement sump pit and it pumps excess water that seeps through your foundation drainage system away from your home.  Even during a plumbing flooding event, a sump pump can get rid of the water.

Sometimes a sump pump will fail, especially when there is a loss of electricity during a storm.  Having a battery backup system will ensure your basement will stay dry during a flooding event.

If you do experience flooding in your basement, the damage may be quite extensive.  Your flooring, walls and contents can all be affected.  The damage may require water extraction, removal of materials, drying equipment placed for several days and eventually the replacing of materials.
