Storms Can Cause Sump Pump Failure in Mapleton, MN

Sump pump failure after storms can cause extensive water damage.

Sump pumps are a very useful tool in keeping water out of your basement and home. Unfortunately they can't always keep up, especially if proper maintenance hasn't been routinely kept up. When severe thunderstorms roll through Mapleton or Ellendale, the water they bring may cause sump pumps to fail, allowing water to enter your home and bring water damage and destruction along with it. 

In this home, a sump pump failure caused extensive water damage that extended into the subfloors. Many water damage situations include drying the carpet, but this home was in need of even more drying. After removing the carpet, the subfloor was dried using one of SERVPRO of Mankato / Owatonna's unique solutions. Every disaster is different, so every solution we provide is different, too.
