Failed Sump Pump in Buffalo, NY

Failed sump pumps during the rains spring can cause severe damage to basements. The combination of rain and melting snow may over load a sump pump's capacity to pump water out of low laying basements. 

Homeowners should remain alert to the weather conditions and check on their sump pump regularly. A burnt out motor or power interruption are common with overworked sump pumps.

After storm damage SERVPRO of The Southtowns can assist in pumping out the standing water and setting up drying equipment to reduce losses.

The basement shown in this picture was damaged with over 6 inches of water when we arrived.
