How is emergency sump pump & flooded basement service done in McDonald homes?

Older pumps in these homes are often undersized.

What should McDonald homeowners know before booking flooding basement work?

If water is coming in, move belongings off the floor, keep clear of electrical hazards and call. After the emergency, interior drainage along the walls and a properly sized pump with a backup give lasting protection, and the discharge should be routed away from the house and neighbors. Testing the pump each spring and replacing it every 7 to 10 years prevents most failures. Downspouts tied into old buried lines are worth testing with a hose, since they often dump water right at the foundation.
