A sump pump only matters when you need it, and that is exactly when it tends to fail. During a heavy south-Fulton storm, a pump that loses power, jams, or simply cannot keep up lets water rise into the lowest level of the home fast, and often overnight when no one notices.
Why sump pumps fail when it counts
The failure almost always lines up with the storm that produces the most water, which is what makes it so damaging.
- A power outage during the storm stops a pump with no battery backup
- The pump is overwhelmed by the volume of a heavy downpour
- A stuck float switch or a clogged pit stops it running
- An aging pump simply wears out and quits
Keeping a backup is why flood preparedness guidance stresses redundancy for anything protecting a lower level.
How our crews clean up after a pump fails
We treat it like any lower-level flood: get the water out, remove what is ruined, and dry the space fully.
- Extract the standing water with pumps and extractors
- Remove saturated pad, baseboards, and lower drywall as needed
- Dry the framing, slab, and cavities with air movers and dehumidifiers
- Take daily readings until the space reaches a dry target
Pump failed and water rising? Call our 24/7 Palmetto line and a crew extracts and dries the lower level, 40 to 75 minutes out.
Call (404) 585-8987Preventing the next failure
Once your space is dry, a few steps make the next storm far less likely to flood it.
- Add a battery backup so a power outage does not stop the pump
- Service the pump and clear the pit before storm season
- See our basement flooding page for lower-level drying
The National Weather Service storm outlooks help you know when to check the pump.
A battery backup is cheap insurance
Most sump pump floods happen when the power goes out in the same storm that fills the pit. A battery backup pump keeps running through the outage and is the single best way to prevent it.
Power went out in the storm and so did the pump, and the lower level flooded. They pumped it out, dried it, and told me how to keep it from happening again. Grateful.
