Flooded Basement? We Can Help!

Our triad area recently got hit with heavy rains, leaving many with flooded basements! The last thing a homeowner wants to discover is this, yet this scenario is all too common. Beyond the frustration of damage, a flooded basement can create long-term issues that can affect the structure of your home, as well as your health.

Why Basements Flood After Heavy Rains

Basements can be vulnerable to flooding during or after heavy rains due to their locations. These are a few reasons that basements may flood after heavy rains:

·       Poor Drainage: If the soil around your home is not draining properly, water can accumulate and enter into your basement or crawl space through small cracks or gaps.

·       Foundation Cracks: As time passes, foundations can develop cracks due to settling or shifting.

·       Sump Pump Failure: A sump pump is designed to keep your basement dry by pumping out any excess water. If the sump pump fails due to a power outage, mechanical failure, or excessive water volume, then flooding can occur.
