sump pump failure St. Louis 12

After heavy rain in St. Louis, my sump pump gave out and water started seeping into the basement. It failed at the worst time, and I realized how crucial it is to have a backup or at least know how to manually clear the pit. Ended up calling a plumber who replaced the check valve and float switch, but the floor took days to fully dry.
