Sump Pump Failure Prevention in Cecil County

3/16/2022 (Permalink)

This rainy season, SERVPRO of Cecil County would like to remind our local Elkton community to inspect and maintain their sump pump systems.  These systems will need to be functioning properly in order to allow water to drain effectively from a property during a storm.

Maintaining your system and resolving any issues with the sump pump can prevent water and structural damage to your Cecil County home or business.  Our team is here to help before the problem starts.

• Selecting the proper sump pump is important.  The pump should be able to handle the amount of stormwater that our Cecil County area experiences throughout the year.
• Installation of the sump pump is also important in preventing water and storm damage issues.
• Clean, inspect and maintain the sump pump every three months in order to ensure that the system is running efficiently.
• Check for issues with the device, such as a damaged switch or clog that reduces the effectiveness of the system.
• A grate can be installed in order to stop debris from building up in the system.

SERVPRO of Cecil County provides complete restoration services for the Elkton area in the event of water or storm damage.  Our team has the knowledge and resources to help restore your home or business quickly.  We offer assistance to our community 24/7 for those that need it the most.
