SERVPRO of Jackson/SE Ingham County are your flooded basement specialists!

We're closing in on springtime, which means an increase in rainfall and potential for flooding in your home. Although every room in your house can have its own water issues, basements are inherently susceptible to flooding and water damage due to them being partially or fully below ground level. But there are several reasons as to why your basement could flood. Here's a list so you can keep an eye on your property and prevent water damage as much as possible.

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

Water can get into your home in numerous ways, and your basement is at an increased risk, especially during the weather transition as snow melts and drains off. A flooded basement can jeopardize your homes safety and structural integrity, therefore putting you and your family's safety at risk. The longer flood water sits in your home, the worse the problem gets and the longer the restoration process will take. 

If your basement is flooded, give SERVPRO of Jackson/SE Ingham County a call today. We're ready 24/7 and we are the flooded basement specialists!
