What are Most Common Causes of Basement Flooding at Homes and Business

Heavy rainfall or water buildup from storms, water enters the property through drain lines, windows, wall cracks or river flooding.
Sewer backups and clogs, can happen due to rain events or by using toilets or other water lines.
Snow melt and runoff from frozen ground, this is more likely to occur during periods of rapid warm-ups when there is a substantial snow base.
Broken or leaky pipes can quickly cause a basement or crawlspace to flood, especially if there is poor drainage in the basement.
Poor grading and drainage around the foundation, keeping your landscaping and water management maintained year round is super important.
Overflowing gutters and downspouts can cause basement flooding during heavy downpours or in combination with poor water management and drainage.
Sump pump failure or power outages, sump pumps that stop moving water from around the foundation can quickly lead to a basement flooding disaster.
Flooding from nearby bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes or oceans, especially problematic during torrential weather events.
Clogged or blocked drainage systems or French drains.
Basement windows that are not properly sealed or installed.
