I get regular power surges and my UPS ticks a lot due to a welding plant. Is this good or bad?

In our home, there is a mechanic who often use a welding plant. When he use it, I think we get a power surge. My UPS ticks madly (not beep, it ticks). Sometimes, I even lose power to the keyboard. When typing, some keys get missing.
1) My question is, is it good for the computer? The UPS claimed to have surge protection. But isn't it working? What should I do to protect my PC?
2) The second question is, I also have a broadband router which is not connected to the UPS. Will it be effected?
