  • Pump Overload: Excess water or debris can cause the pump to overwork and fail.
  • Improper Installation: Incorrect installation can reduce the pump’s effectiveness and lifespan.
  • Lack of Maintenance: A poorly maintained sump pump is more likely to malfunction when you need it most.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sump Pump Failure Cleanup

Water Damage can be confusing, MRC Restoration makes it simple.

 

If your sump pump fails, act quickly to prevent further water damage:

  1. Turn off electricity to affected areas to avoid electrical hazards.
  2. Remove valuable items from the flooded area.
  3. Call a professional water damage restoration service like MRC Restoration to begin water extraction and drying as soon as possible.

Regular maintenance is key to preventing sump pump failures. Some tips include:

  • Inspect the sump pump regularly for debris or damage.
  • Test it every few months by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates.
  • Install a backup battery or generator to keep it operational during power outages.
  • Keep the discharge line clear of clogs and debris.

 

Most standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage caused by sump pump failure unless you have additional coverage like a water backup endorsement. Check your policy or contact your insurance agent to confirm what is included. For more details, visit the National Flood Insurance Program (FEMA) to learn about flood-related coverage options.


The time required to dry a basement depends on factors like the extent of flooding, the materials affected, and the equipment used. Typically, the process can take 2-5 days with professional drying and dehumidification equipment. MRC Restoration uses industrial-grade tools to expedite the drying process and prevent mold growth.
