basement flooding St. Louis 8

After heavy rains in St. Louis, my basement turned into a murky swimming pool last night. The sump pump failed, water seeped through every crack, and boxes of holiday decorations are now a soggy mess. I've bailed out buckets—without help from a plumber yet—while checking the city's drainage updates every hour.
