Avoid Basement Flooding
6/3/2019 (Permalink)
We hate to say it but basements are prone to flooding and it can happen at any time, even if your basement has never flooded before. And the reason is simple…gravity. Water will move from high ground to the lowest ground possible, and since basements are built below the ground level, that is where water wants to travel to. Even a small amount of water in your basement can damage walls, floors, carpeting, personal belongings, and can even help mold spread.
If you experience a flooded basement, the first step you should take is to determine the source. Was it because there was a storm or a natural disaster, sewer issues, or is it a recurring problem, such as foundation issues.
