Basement Flooding
Water Damage: Commercial Basement Flooding Restoration & Clean Up
During water emergencies, basements, the lowest point in a structural building, are usually the first to flood. Water intrusions can occur in commercial properties and businesses from sources inside and outside the structure. This water damage can impact the basement, its contents, and your ability to continue daily activities in your commercial property or business.
We will do whatever is necessary to get your flooded basement back to its pre-loss condition, and to get your company back to an operational level. Because of our decades of experience in this industry, we know what to look out for to save you time and money in the long run. Effective communication in water damage restoration is essential to getting your organization back to work as fast as possible while maintaining a high level of quality. We can act as a liaison for you between the water damage loss event and all relevant stakeholders.

Noteworthy Commercial Basement Flooding Terms
- Hydrostatic Pressure
- Excessive rain or snowmelt can oversaturate the ground, resulting in hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when moisture outside of the basement or foundational wall exceeds the pressure inside. Water will naturally seek lower pressure, resulting in foundational leaks and cracks.
- Quick Tip: If you do not have sump pumps, install some to relieve the hydrostatic pressure. If you already do, look to add more, or install higher capacity ones.
- Waterproofing Systems
- Without a proper waterproofing system in the basement, water will gather in the lower level with no way to escape. It is important to implant a waterproofing system in your commercial property or business to prevent basement flooding.
- Some factors to consider when choosing a system that’s right for you:
- The company belongs to Better Business Bureau
- They have longevity in the industry under the same company name
- They are historically reviewed as doing quality workmanship
