Why Basement Flooding Happens

Basement flooding has many causes, both inevitable and preventable.

CauseDescription
Falling Leaves Falling leaves from storms or negligence can clog gutters, preventing proper water flow. Overflowing gutters pour water near the foundation, weakening your home’s stability.
Sump Pump Failure A malfunctioning sump pump cannot remove excess water during storms, leaving your basement vulnerable to sewer backups.
Clogged Sewer Drains Heavy rains can overwhelm city sewer systems, pushing water back into your basement. Even a working sump pump may not prevent flooding.
Toiletries Flushing cotton materials, swabs or baby wipes causes buildup inside pipes. This could lead to clogs over time that flood your basement.
