Basement Flooding Solutions

April showers bring May flowers and flooded basements. During periods of heavy rain, My Plumber Heating and Cooling receives numerous calls from homeowners in regards to flooded basements and sump pumps not working. Based on our 30 years of experience and best plumber service, we have identified several reasons why basements flood. Water can enter into your basement via: leaks or cracks in the basement walls, clogged main drains, foundation drain failure, leaking or clogged downspouts, sump pump failure, a sewer system clog or back-up, or poor lot drainage. Most of these occur as a result of rainfall or heavy snow melt.

Besides the time and expense associated with a large clean-up bill, there are other negative consequences associated with basement flooding:

  • Frequent flooding results in long-term damage to the building which may not be covered by insurance.
  • Mold and mildew growth may occur resulting in serious respiratory problems.
  • Homeowner insurance rates or deductibles may rise to compensate for repeated flooding claims.
