How Your Basement Can Be Damaged By Sewer Backup

Basement backups can occur during heavy rainfall, sewer line blockages, or drainage system failures. Once contaminated water enters the basement, it can quickly spread across floors and reach drywall, insulation, furniture, and other belongings.

The longer contaminated water remains, the greater the potential for damage and unsanitary conditions. Fast water removal, cleaning, disinfection, and drying can help limit the damage and begin returning the basement to a safe, usable condition.
