Northern Illinois weather is notoriously unpredictable, bringing torrential downpours and severe thunderstorms that put tremendous pressure on residential drainage systems. If your sump pump fails during a heavy storm, your basement can flood within minutes, resulting in thousands of dollars in water damage.
Don't wait for a thunderstorm to find out your sump pump is broken. Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to ensure the float switch activates the pump immediately and water is pumped out cleanly away from your foundation.
Severe storms frequently knock out electrical power grids. When power fails, standard electric sump pumps stop working immediately. Installing a secondary battery backup sump pump ensures your basement stays protected even during extended blackout periods.
If your sump pump is making strange grinding noises or failing to clear water efficiently, contact Plainfield Plumbing Pro at (217) 216-8586 for professional inspection, repair, and battery backup installation in Plainfield.
