A Flooded Basement is No Fun; Luckily, We’re Here to Help.

A basement can flood at any time. Whether it’s from heavy rainfall or a burst water heater- these incidents are not uncommon. Unfortunately, basements are inherently prone to flooding because they are the lowest point of your building, and normally built partly or entirely below ground level. There are a number of scenarios and reasons as to how basement flooding can occur. Let’s take a look at some of the most common:

• Hot water tank failures
• Burst pipes (especially in the colder weather when they freeze up)
• Heavy rainfalls, causing ground seepage which can cause water to enter if you have cracks or holes in your foundation
• Water supply-line breaks
• A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe, which is the pipe that carries wastewater from your home to the sewer main
• Storm sewer backups near your home. Storm Sewers are the drains on roads designed to carry rainfall runoff and other drainage.
• Sanitary Sewer backups; the underground tunnel system that carries the waste from your house or business to treatment/disposal facilities.
• Foundation drainage failures, which are the pipes installed under your foundation to collect water and move it off-site)

If flood water in your basement is not handled quickly and properly, not only can it jeopardize your health and safety but it can also cause severe damage to your home’s structure. Remember- the longer you wait, the more damage can occur.
