Unfortunately, those April showers can also bring sump pump failure! With the rain we have already had in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area the calls for water in the basement have already started.
A sump pump is a valuable tool for homeowners. So how do you know if you need one, and what do you need to do in the spring to make sure it’s operating correctly?
A sump pump eliminates moisture and prevents flooding. More than 60% of American homeowners have some type of moisture in their basements or crawlspaces. Many homeowners’ basements will flood at some point. Even if your basement doesn’t flood, basement moisture can lead to mold and potential health problems. Living in Minnesota where we are susceptible to excessive snow or rainfall, a sump pump can be a smart bet.
Water naturally drains into specially constructed pits (in a hole below the main surface of the basement) that house sump pumps. Most sump pumps have an automated flotation system that causes the device to turn on and begin pumping water when it reaches a certain level. The water is pumped outside through a hose, to an area where the water can drain away from your foundation. Sump pumps are powered by electricity.
It is recommended to test your sump pump from time to time to make sure it is pushing the water correctly out of the house. Here are some basic steps to make sure your sump pump is in working condition. This is especially important during spring and when heavy rainfall is in the forecast.
Depending on the area you live in, a second sump pump can be a valuable backup that comes in handy if your main pump quits working or becomes overwhelmed. However, if you don’t think water levels will overrun your main pump, you might save money by investing in a water alarm that can alert you to any malfunctions.

Your team has been absolutely amazing, professional, sympathetic and wonderful. They took my mess and made it manageable as I shed a few tears, which they also consoled with empathy. At a time when we have floods and tornados city wide you responded within hours. Thank, I am impressed and I have passed the word on to many.

Yes. I appreciated the ability to funnel all activities thru a one-stop shop proved to be very valuable in a disaster project such as ours demo, construction and finish as well as work directly with insurance company. The team has been professional and those on site have been respectful of our home and schedule.
