Nothing is worse than coming home from a weekend getaway and opening your cellar door to this. That's exactly what happened to this couple who had a sump pump failure after a wicked storm. 

Any type of storm can prove hazardous and costly. If you don't have the proper insurance coverage, you find yourself paying out of pocket. This picture shows a sump pump that failed during a storm. 

A small example of wind damage from a recent storm. Tree branches like these, can cause a myriad of problems if left unattended. This branch could have broken a window allowing water to intrude into the home. 

Even though it's dark, we can clearly see in this picture that there was a massive water intrusion into this home.  Recent rainfall and flash flooding had caused rainwater to seep into this home

In this second picture, we see the delamination process at a better angle. Delamination is the secondary backing of the carpet pulls away from the primary. This can be caused by water damage, age, and just general wear and tear over time. 

When water from a recent storm got into the basement of this home, it did some serious damage.  This pic shows the very beginning of a delaminated carpet. Delaminated meaning the backing. 

With the amount of rain and snow we've had this year, it's easy to see that the ground is beyond saturated. We see in this picture a sump pump that failed due to overflow of rain water from past and more recent storms. 

This is a dry and complete picture of the beautiful flooring post water damage.
