sump pump failure St. Louis 8

When our sump pump failed during a heavy St. Louis thunderstorm, the basement flooded within minutes, ruining boxes of keepsakes and old photos. The water just kept rising, and we had no backup system in place. A frantic call to a local plumber confirmed it was a classic power surge issue—common in older homes here. Now we're looking at installing a battery backup unit and maybe a secondary pump to avoid this nightmare again.
