Unfortunately, we are learning the hard way after Hurricane Irene that insurance does not cover for damages caused by sump pump failure due to a power outage. NOT happy about it, but we continue to work with the wet vac and fans, de-humidifiers. After some research, I have found that some insurance companies do offer a separate clause for this. Generators or battery back-ups for sump pumps seem to be the way to go. That will be our next investment after replacing what we will end up losing.

To fix a power outage in your home, first check if the outage is affecting just your home or the entire neighborhood. If it's just your home, check the circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers and reset them if needed. If the outage is affecting the neighborhood, contact your utility company to report the outage and get updates on when power will be restored. Avoid using candles for lighting and unplug sensitive electronics to prevent damage when the power comes back on.
