When the Sump Pump Fails
Most sump pump floods happen at the worst time: a heavy rain, a spring thaw or a power outage during a storm. The pit fills, water comes up through the floor and spreads across the basement in minutes.
Select Restoration handles sump pump floods 24/7 across Macomb County. We remove the water, pull wet carpet and drywall, clean and disinfect, and dry the basement with commercial equipment and daily moisture readings. Then we rebuild what was damaged.
Water from a sump pit is not clean water. It picks up dirt and bacteria from the soil, so porous materials it touches usually need to be removed and the area disinfected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover a sump pump failure?
Many policies need a sump pump or water backup endorsement to cover this. Check your policy. We document the damage either way.

It is considered contaminated because it comes through the soil. Porous materials it soaked usually need to be removed, and the area should be disinfected.
How fast can you get here?
