Flooded Basement in Pleasant Hill?
11/15/2022 (Permalink)
Storms often bring water intrusion into homes via cracks in foundations, windows, and doors. When you discover water in your basement in Pleasant Hill, our Springfield and East Lane County team is Here to Help.® We use powerful water extraction and drying equipment to pull the water out of the damaged areas quickly and efficiently. We document and monitor the drying process to ensure the site is returned to normal moisture levels. Your basement will be dry, clean, and smell great when we are through.
Here are some tips from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety to keep your sump pump working correctly:
- Open the lid and remove debris that may be blocking the water inlet screen
- Pour about five gallons of water into the pump and watch the float valve rise
- As the float valve rises, the pump should turn on, and the water should discharge through the outlet pipe
- Go outside and inspect the outlet pipe
- Water should be flowing from the pipe and away from the home
- Contact a plumbing professional if the sump pump fails to operate during this inspection
- Install a battery backup system
- Choose a system with a battery replacement warning
- Replace batteries every two to three years
