Worried About a Flooded Basement?

5/31/2019 (Permalink)

Although flooding most often occurs during heavy rainfall, a basement can flood at any time. 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, the most common include:

• A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe
• Heavy rain causing surface water to pool around your home
• Storm sewer backup
• Foundation drainage failure
• Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure

A flooded basement can jeopardize your health, safety, and your home’s integrity. It’s worth making a call to SERVPRO of Chilton, Coosa, Tallapoosa & Chambers Counties and let our trained, professional crews handle the situation correctly and safely.
