Our local Gary and Whiting teams are leaders in water damage restoration services. A sump pump failure is a leading cause of basement flooding, often occurring during heavy rainstorms when the pump is needed most. If the pump malfunctions—whether due to a power outage, clogging, or mechanical failure—water can rapidly accumulate in the basement, damaging floors, walls, and stored belongings.

Homeowners should regularly inspect their sump pumps to ensure they’re in working condition. Testing the pump by pouring water into the sump pit and verifying that it activates is an excellent preventative measure. A battery backup system can also be helpful in case of power outages during storms.

Swift action is essential when sump pump failure causes basement flooding. Our team of highly trained technicians use powerful, industrial-grade water extraction equipment that can remove hundreds of thousands of gallons of water quickly, minimizing the chances of secondary damage in many cases.

We monitor and document the drying process to ensure the area is dried completely and restored to normal humidity levels. This helps to avoid long-term issues like mold growth and structural damage associated with basement flooding. Addressing sump pump problems before they escalate can save homeowners from costly water damage.
