Recently a homeowner in Bellefontaine, Ohio went down in her basement only to find several inches of standing water, however she didn’t panic and knew exactly what to do. She called us, SERVPRO of Central Auglaize/Hardin/Logan Counties, and scheduled our 24/7 emergency service team to come start extracting the water immediately. While this is something no homeowner wants to happen, flooding is very common. Basement flooding most often occurs from heavy rainfall because it’s the lowest level of the building and is built partly or entirely below ground level, but there are several other potential sources including:

• Storm sewer backup
• Sanitary sewer backup
• Water supple-line break
• Hot-water tank failure
• Blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe
• Foundation drainage failure
• Many more

If you experience flooding in your home or business it’s always best to act fast, standing water is dangerous and causes severe damage to your homes structure. Our crews at SERVPRO of Central Auglaize/Hardin/Logan Counties are “faster to any disaster” with emergency service crews available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so call us at 937-354-3540.
