In St. Louis, sump pump failure is a common headache especially during heavy spring rains. I had to deal with mine last April, right when the Mississippi was rising. Water started seeping into the basement fast, and the old pump just quit. It is critical to test pumps before the storm hits, as replacement units can be backordered for weeks.
