Basement Floods In New York City

Floods are common in basements even for those who live in areas that do not flood causing a lot of water damage. The problem could be from overflowing water containers, water taps that have been left open or water getting in through a crack when there are heavy rains. Prevent any room from a flood in Manhattan and New York City with SERVPRO of Midtown Manhattan experts; we will get rid of the water within no time. 

There are several factors that could result in a flooded basement from the outside. These are:

• There could be a small crack on the walls of the basement that allow water to sip in.

• In the event that there are any windows, make sure that you close them tightly when there is a heavy downpour.

• Make sure that water runoff does not pass anywhere near the foundation of the house.

• Ensure gutters are well in place to prevent water from falling near the foundation

The prevention should be from the inside as well:

• Invest in a sump pump to get rid of the water.
