Local plumbing issues in Fargo
Deep frost and frozen service lines
Frost can reach several feet deep in hard winters, which can freeze water service lines that are buried too shallow.
Red River flooding
Spring floods raise groundwater and test sump pumps and backwater valves across the city.
Sump pump discharge freezing
Discharge lines that freeze in winter can stop a sump pump from emptying the pit.
Finished basements on clay
Many Fargo homes have finished basements on heavy Red River Valley clay, which holds water against the foundation after spring floods and keeps sump pumps running for weeks.
