The storm has raged on with water non-stop and now your property has a power outage, what else could possibly go wrong?

Well if you are one of the many properties with a sump pump, quite a bit more could go horribly wrong. If you have a power outage and your sump pump fails, it can lead to flooding in your basement.

Ideally it is best to be prepared in advance for a power outage. But have no fear, SERVPRO of North Highlands / Rio Linda is no stranger to sump pump overflows and flooding.

If your home or business is a property with a sump pump, it is crucial to be prepared for a power outage.

• Generators – these can provide power to your sump pump, house, and appliances. If you are in an area prone to power outages for multiple days it is a good idea to have a generator available.
• Backups – this can be a backup battery operated sump pump or, a backup battery power source for your sump pump that can be flipped on.

These are two things you can get to avoid having your sump pump malfunction during a power outage.
