Avoid Basement Flooding with Tips from Green Restoration

Posted: Friday, October 18, 2019 at 1:00 AM CDT

Orange, CT -- (SBWire) -- 10/18/2019 --Basement flooding can be detrimental. Possessions are lost, and the property suffers significant water damage. Replacing everything and restoring the basement to its original form is time-consuming and expensive. While Green Restoration provides cost-effective and eco-friendly restoration services for any flooded basement in Massachusetts and Connecticut, they emphasize the importance of being prepared and taking preventative action.

Most of the measures that are taken to prevent flooding are simple home maintenance routines that often get pushed aside. For example, clogged or backed up gutters can often be a culprit that leads to a higher chance of flooding. The water is blocked off and seeps into the basement, building up over time and creating mold and mildew. Sealing any cracks or crevices in the basement is also a great place to start.

Homes that do not currently have a sump pump should look into installing one as soon as possible. This will ensure that power loss during rainstorms won't lead to water damage, because water will be pumped outside and away from the house. If the basement has window wells, look into putting covers over them from the outside. Any leaks through the windows can be problematic, so having them covered is essential.

In some cases, such as severe weather and burst pipes, water damage might be unavoidable. For these and any other situations, Green Restoration provides cleaning and restoration for residential and commercial basements using only environmentally-friendly materials. Their services not only save homes from damage, but protects the earth as well.
