What a failed sump pump looks like
Check for these if the basement is wet or smells damp:
- Water collecting around the sump pit or along the walls
- A pump that hums but does not move water, or does not run at all
- A power outage during a storm, or a tripped breaker on the pump circuit
- A musty smell that shows up after heavy rain
- A float switch stuck in place or a pit full of silt
What we do after the pump fails
Get the water out
Pumps and extractors empty the basement while the cause is sorted out.
Strip what cannot dry
Wet carpet, pad and low drywall come out so the structure can dry.
Dry and monitor
Air movers and dehumidifiers run, with moisture readings taken until the space is dry.
Clean and check for mold
We clean the affected areas and look for early mold before you rebuild.
Insurance and estimates
Many standard policies exclude water that backs up through a sump or drain unless you added that coverage. Check with your agent. We document the damage and give you a detailed, itemized estimate and regular progress updates.

What our customers say
Have any questions?
Do you replace or repair the sump pump?
A plumber or sump pump specialist repairs or replaces the pump. We handle the water damage so the two jobs do not get in each other's way.
Will my insurance cover sump pump flooding?
It depends on your policy. Water backup and sump overflow are often a separate endorsement. Call your agent early, and we will give you the documentation they ask for.
How do I keep this from happening again?
Ask your plumber about a battery backup for the pump, and test the pump before storm season. A pump that has not run in months may not start when you need it.
Sump pump quit and the basement is wet?
