Basement Flooded/return pump has water in the casing
TL;DR
Basement flooded with fresh water (hurricane) external return pump half submerged but still running while submerged pump now kicks off GFI outlet removed case plug and drained water can I save this pump? should I spray WD-40 or similar product into case to try and displace the water? Thank you
