Performing Maintenance on Your Sump Pump
Forgetting to care for your sump pump is often the first step toward flooding in your basement. In order to prevent water damage and an extensive restoration process, you’ll need to schedule annual sump pump maintenance, as well as check for problems frequently.
Cleaning Your Sump Pump
Cleaning your sump pump is one of the first steps you can take toward defending your home from water. Periodically schedule a cleaning session so that your sump pump is appropriately dealing with clogged debris and other problems that could eventually lead to flooding.
Residential Sump Pump Cleaning
Homeowners often have problems with dirt, gravel, and other blockages entering their sump pumps and causing clogs. An annual cleaning will ensure these issues don’t lead to larger water damage
due to flooding or continuous leaks.
Commercial Sump Pump Cleaning
If your business has a sump pump in the basement, don’t let it fail. Flooding can shut down an entire company for weeks or even months at a time. Clean your pump regularly so that it can help combat water damage and keep your company running smoothly.

Winter Storm Uri brought record cold temperatures and interruptions to electricity and water services in February this year. Storm Uri swept from the Pacific Northwest across the Central U.S., including a few states that were unused to harsh winter conditions. And if the extreme temperatures and snowfall weren't enough, it also caused an interruption of services like heat, electricity, and water for millions of people in the southern states.
Texas had such a hard time because the state has its own power grid, and every part of the power generation was impacted by the cold. The coal froze, the ice blocked natural gas pipelines, and wind turbines were iced over. And, of course, the electricity demand shot up so everyone could keep warm. Many saw their water pipes freezing, and a loss of power as the state instituted rolling blackouts to ration energy supply.
As we at Restoration 1 know so well, frozen pipes can lead to cracking and, once the pipes thaw, bursting. Burst pipes lead to flooding, leaving residential and commercial buildings susceptible to the risk of mold growth. Luckily for those affected by Storm Uri, Restoration 1 teams were mobilized and on the ground, operating 24/7 to help residential and commercial property owners. Available crews tackled water damage cleanup and restoration efforts to fix any interior water damage due to burst pipes, roof leaks, and ice.
In this post, we share how Restoration 1 dealt with Storm Uri and the steps we took to ensure all franchisees were mobilized and ready to help as many people as possible.
How Restoration 1 Dealt with Storm Uri
As with all natural disasters, the quicker you can handle the situation, the better. Restoration 1 was quick to mobilize, being available and responding within less than 24 hours after the storm hit. With our vast network of franchisees, Restoration 1 pulled all its staff from unaffected areas to help at branches that needed support and where Storm Uri had caused havoc.
The Breadth of Our Service
With Restoration 1's proprietary system, the company was able to prepare and connect with all franchisees. Our proprietary tool, in turn, was able to alert the support team throughout our network of franchisees.
Once we knew what each franchisee needed, the national disaster team could tie them to available resources. This national disaster response team used its proprietary tool to mobilize quickly during the disaster.
In less than 24 hours, we could connect a multi-state effort to support the affected areas and franchisees.
Senior Management
Our senior management team gathered all their efforts promptly and held a daily hotline with all locations. The hotline outlined best practices in responding to storm Uri's aftermath and how to utilize our rapid response messaging system to communicate with people in the field in real-time. The senior management team also traveled to the worst affected areas and provided support 24/7.
The Home Office
The home office support team stepped up their availability and was on-call 24/7 during this entire event. They held meetings and check-ins during the middle of the night, if necessary, and waiting lists for each affected location were quickly and effectively addressed.
The Two Most Common Types of Damage Faced During Storm Uri
Restoration 1 helped the affected homes and businesses with water mitigation, water damage restoration, decontamination, debris cleanup, disaster response, commercial and industrial roofing, interior restoration, and construction services to rebuild properties. But the main types of property damage being faced were:
Water damage and flooding resulted from frozen and broken water pipes.
Snow and ice wreaked devastation outside of residential and commercial structures.
Testimonials
We’d like to share just three testimonials we have received for restoration efforts directly linked to Storm Uri.
I had a pipe burst and flood my downstairs during the winter storm. Restoration 1 came out and did a fantastic job cleaning up the water, cutting out wet walls and placing fans and dehumidifiers all throughout my house. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, they all wore masks and everyone was very polite! They also stayed in contact with my insurance company which helped me tremendously because I had so much going on. I highly recommend Restoration 1. They truly are angels and helped me out so much.
K.P., San Antonio Northside
Restoration 1 really delivered. Thanks! I had a busted pipe (Feb 2021 freeze). While waiting for help, I removed the walls and ceiling of a third floor shower which obviously had wet insulation. I needed a professional assessment of other areas, including the lower floors, where the water damage was not as obvious. Restoration 1 arrived, checked it out and helped me get moving forward. Thanks again!
William Hicks, Central Houston
Andres and his team were very dependable and professional. Our house was hit hard by the extreme cold temperatures brought on by the Texas winter storm. Duff and Dylan worked together as team leads for this job and the communication amongst everyone was superb! We had called ServPro initially but they weren’t responsive and honestly we would still probably be in a state of chaos if we had gone with them. Restoration 1 Central San Antonio jumped into demolition mode the day after we called them. Thank you guys for all your hard work.

In Conclusion
The response and reach that Restoration 1 had during Storm Uri shows the company's commitment as a whole. At Restoration 1, we truly believe we are in this together. Evidence of this is highlighted by the whole network of franchisees stepping in to help wherever they could – even outside of their response area. We saw teams responding to water mitigation and restoration requests from schools, hospitals, hotels, churches, resorts, commercial and residential properties with emergency teams and professional equipment to help.

Sometimes, even without a natural disaster, you can still face disastrous basement flood damage. As you can imagine, water leaks can cause a lot of water damage and a large amount of waste. Therefore, it's essential to be aware of the many ways you can prevent water damage in your home or business.
According to the statistics, 14,000 people in the US experience a water damage emergency at home or work each day, and 98% of basements in the US will suffer from some water damage during their lifetime. Let's take a look at what can cause basement flood damage in your Western Wayne County residence:
Top Causes of Basement Flooding
Sump pump failure: If your surrounding ground has a lot of water, it is essential to have a sump pump in your basement. These pumps move water out and away from the basement. Set up a regular maintenance schedule for this equipment.
Water heater issues: Regular maintenance and monitoring of utility appliances are essential for operating effectively and preventing potential water leaks.
Basement sealing: The basement tiles and foundation need to be adequately sealed when a home is built. Eventually, this can deteriorate over time, and water will begin to seep into the basement from the ground.
Irrigation: The underground pipes for irrigation systems can leak. Keep an eye on your system, and don't place it too close to the foundation of your home.
As you can see, regularly maintaining and monitoring your water-related appliances, pipes, and areas prone to water damage is vital to prevent basement flood damage and plumbing water damage.
And if it's too late for that, and you are facing basement flood damage, it's a good idea to have the experts at Restoration 1 of Western Wayne County check things out. With just one call, any time of the day or night, they will assess and tackle the basement flood damage as soon as possible to help you get your life back to normal.

Although you may think you can handle some water damage on your own, the restoration experts use professional equipment to prevent mold growth and other adverse effects of water damage. Plus, we also know to look for possible structural issues that may have come about due to water damage. There is no substitute for professional restoration experts.

Let's take a look at what can cause basement flood damage in your Western Wayne County residence:
Top Causes of Basement Flooding
- Clogged gutters: Ensure your gutters are free from leaves and debris, especially during the rainy season, and that they dispense the water at least 6-10 feet away from your home.
- Storm sewer blockage: If the pipes that carry away stormwater become obstructed with debris, you will more than likely experience a backup. Call the city to clear the debris as soon as possible.
- Grading: Your land should slope 6 inches downwards within the first 10 feet of your home. Recontour the soil around your house if necessary, so water is carried away from your home in severe rain.
- Septic tank blockage or failure: If your septic system is blocked, it could send greywater into your home. And a failed septic pump can also result in greywater overflow.
- Insufficient foundation drainage: Gutters are not enough to protect your home from rainwater getting in, and most properties will have foundation drainage, too. Ensure your foundation drainage, such as French drain or perimeter drain, is free and clear of debris and problems.
- Extreme weather: Stormwater and melting snow can travel from far to cause damage to your home. During extreme weather, regularly check the weather reports and update your safety measures around the windows and openings to your basement.
- Seepage tiles: These are placed around the foundation wall of a home and create an impenetrable barrier that keeps water out. These will help keep your basement dry.
