We called KIWI for an emergency water cleanup. They were amazing! They came right out as fast as possible and went right to work getting the water out and drying everything up. Rebecca was so efficient and kept us updated on every step. She also followed up on the phone, making sure I was satisfied and asking how I was doing. They were so caring, as I was in a state of panic. John came out and did a wonderful job. John and his helper even helped us carry out some of the furniture. From start to finish, they were terrific to work with, and I would recommend kiwi services to anyone.

Expert Basement Flooding Restoration by KIWI Services

Whether you use your basement for storage or you use it as an additional living space, basement flooding can be a devastating experience for a homeowner to go through. Not only are your belongings damaged, but you also have to deal with the aftermath of the mess: Mold, mildew, standing water, and rippling floors and buckling basement walls. Luckily, you don’t have to go through this alone.

KIWI Services offers basement flooding restoration service that will clear the standing water out of your basement, remove any and all traces of moisture, provide antimicrobial treatments for the entire room, and handle insurance claims with your carrier. Best of all, our services are provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year—because we know that flooding doesn’t necessarily follow a 9–5 schedule.

Causes of Basement Flooding

Basement flooding can be a nightmare for homeowners, leading to significant damage and costly repairs. Understanding the common causes of basement flooding can help you take preventive measures to protect your home. Here are some of the most frequent culprits behind basement flooding:

  • Heavy Rains: Heavy rainfall is one of the most common causes of basement flooding. When the ground becomes saturated with water, it can no longer absorb additional rain, leading to water seeping into basements through cracks in the foundation, windows, and doors. Proper drainage systems, such as gutters and downspouts, should be maintained to direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation.
  • Broken Sump Pumps: Sump pumps are essential for keeping basements dry by pumping out accumulated water. However, if a sump pump fails due to mechanical issues, power outages, or improper installation, it can lead to basement flooding. Regular maintenance and testing of your sump pump can help ensure it functions when needed.
  • Poor Drainage: Inadequate drainage systems around your home can cause water to pool around the foundation, eventually seeping into the basement. This can be due to improper grading, clogged gutters, or insufficient downspout extensions. Ensuring proper grading around your home and keeping gutters and downspouts clear can help prevent water accumulation near the foundation.
  • Burst Pipes: Burst pipes can cause sudden and severe basement flooding. Pipes can burst due to freezing temperatures, aging infrastructure, or high water pressure. To prevent this, insulate pipes during winter, regularly inspect for wear and tear signs, and ensure your water pressure is within a safe range.
  • Sewer Backups: Sewer backups occur when the municipal sewer system becomes overwhelmed, causing sewage to flow back into homes through the basement drains. This can happen during heavy rains or due to blockages in the sewer lines. Installing a backwater valve can help prevent sewage from backing up into your basement.

By understanding these common causes of basement flooding, you can take proactive steps to protect your home. Regular maintenance, proper drainage systems, and timely repairs can significantly reduce the risk of basement flooding and keep your home safe and dry. If you experience basement flooding, contacting a professional restoration service like KIWI Services can help mitigate the damage and restore your home efficiently.
