Home Flooding Problems?

Homeowners with homes in low-lying areas, or on flood plains, know the problem of a flooded basement all too well.

Fortunately, most homeowners do not experience basement floods, except during rare occasions of extremely bad rain storms or extended wet weather. Unfortunately, these occasions have been happening more frequently over the past few years.

From hurricanes in North America and the Far East, to flooding in Europe and South Asia, there seems to be an increase in the occurrence of heavy precipitation weather systems. Under these circumstances, flooding may not occur simply because of heavy rain. Power outages can cause pumping stations to fail and runoff can clog sewers – all increasing the chance of flooded basements.

Toronto has been no exception and we have experienced a number of serious rainstorms and extensive power outages in the last few years.
Not taking care of your home’s flooding issues will decrease the value of your home and can cost you a lot in repairs to your basement and personal items. If you are not sure and you would like to know if your home is safe from floods, have your home inspected by a professional basement flooding expert who can accurately assess your home’s ability to handle heavy rain and flooding.

Before you get caught with a flooded basement in the middle of a heavy rain fall and are faced with the costs and inconvenience of repairing the problem, get a free estimate and inspection of your home. You will have the peace of mind of knowing your home and belongings will remain warm and dry regardless of what the weather brings.
