Flooded Basement Restoration

This flooded basement was the result of an unplugged sump pump in a home in the process of being built.

Whether your basement in finished, unfinished, or is a new build, SERVPRO will be there when the water strikes. A basement can flood at any time, though most of the time it can be contributed to heavy rainfall. Being the lowest level of the home, they are the most vulnerable to flooding. Some reasons your basement may flood can include;

Heavy rainfall pooling around your home.

Sump pump failure.

Storm drain backup.

Foundation issues (cracks, sinking, etc).

The quicker the flooded basement is handled the better, this will lessen the damage and ultimately lessen the cost. Another important thing it will do is eliminate the risk of certain health issues such as having mold or mildew in your home.

Whether the basement is finished or not will determine the steps your SERVPRO technicians will need to take, with an unfinished basement being a little bit more straightforward. Ultimately, your SERVPRO technicians will have the knowledge and experience to handle any job at hand.
