Flooded Basement in Your Hobart Home

10/25/2022 (Permalink)

A basement can flood at any time, but flooding often happens during heavy rainfall. And in our area we get a decent amount of rain during the Fall. Basements are prone to flooding because they are the lowest level of a house and are built below ground level. Water runs from high to low ground and unfortunately straight into your basement. Excessive rain in a short period of time can saturate the earth around your basement and push through foundation cracks. THIS is when you call SERVPRO of Eastern Lake County. (219) 947-9931. We can answer any questions you have and get our highly trained technicians out to you right away!
