How to Prevent Basement Flooding During Heavy Rain?
To protect your home from basement flooding, consider taking preventive measures. By studying the following strategies, homeowners can learn how to stop basement flooding and significantly reduce the risk of water damage.
- Install Window Well Covers: Use clear acrylic covers to deflect water while allowing light in.
- Maintain Gutters and Downspouts: Keep them clear of debris and position downspouts at least 3 feet from the foundation.
- Install and Maintain a Sump Pump: Sump pumps are designed to pull water out of your basement. Install one and test it annually. You might also consider a backup power source or installing a backwater valve. Backwater valves work with your sump pump to divert water and prevent sewage backup.
We're ready to help.
Disinfecting Basement After Flooding
We all need water to live. We can’t live more than a few days without it. Floodwater, on the other hand, can threaten our livelihood when left stagnant in your basement for more than a few days. To maintain a safe living environment, it’s extremely important to disinfect and clean your basement after a flood.
Potential Health Risks After Basement Flooding
- Mold Growth: Mold thrives in damp, dark environments—like a flooded basement. Mold exposure can cause allergy-like symptoms and respiratory issues. It may even lead to more severe health problems if left untreated. Mold removal typically requires professional assistance, including cleaning, disinfecting, and thorough drying.
- Water Contamination: Stagnant water contains harmful bacteria, parasites, or - in some cases - chemicals. If left untreated, it can contaminate your local water supply, leading to gastrointestinal symptoms or other health concerns if consumed.
- Carbon Monoxide Exposure: Many household devices, like carbon monoxide detectors, are powered by portable generators which, when exposed to water in basement flooding, can stop working. Because it is a colorless and odorless gas, carbon monoxide is difficult to detect without a functioning detection system. If unknowingly exposed to carbon monoxide, you might experience symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and nausea.
