A Flooded Basement Can Lead To Structural Issues And Mold

8/20/2021 (Permalink)

A basement can flood at any time, although flooding most often occurs during heavy rainfall. Basements are inherently prone to flooding because they are the lowest level of a building and are normally built partly or entirely below ground level.

There are a number of reasons why your basement could flood, including:


A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe

Heavy rain causes surface water to pool around your home

Storm sewer backup
Sanitary sewer backup
Foundation drainage failure
Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure
