Help! My Basement is Flooded. Now What?

Basements in Tacoma are highly susceptible to flooding from heavy rains, poor drainage, or burst pipes. If you discover standing water in your basement, follow these steps.

1. Do Not Enter the Water

Standing water in a basement is a severe electrocution hazard. Never step into the water until the electricity to that area has been shut off from the main breaker.

2. Identify the Source

Is it coming from a burst pipe, a failed sump pump, or groundwater seeping through the foundation? If it's a pipe, shut off the main water supply.

3. Call the Professionals

Basement flooding usually requires heavy-duty submersible pumps and specialized drying equipment to prevent mold growth in the walls and framing. Call a certified restoration team immediately.
