Why do basements flood?
Burst pipes, sudden downpours, a copious amount of storm water, broken gutters, leaky windows, damaged foundation, sudden removal of large trees near your home…there are many reasons how water can flood your basement. Water flows downhill into the lowest areas and it can make its way through even the smallest cracks and openings.
Depending upon the age of your home and the region in which you live, your foundation is most likely either poured concrete or stacked concrete blocks. Sometimes the foundation is coated or shielded with a water barrier material, designed to keep water out. Over time homes settle and shift, sometimes compromising the structural solidity of the foundation.

Basements are the lowest point in a home and tend to flood first during any kind of water emergency. When the unexpected happens, we're on site within 2-4 hours to restore your home as quickly as possible. With rapid response, your floors, walls, and personal property can often be restored.
Water intrusions can occur in basements from sources inside and outside the structure. Excessive rain or snow melt can over saturate the ground, resulting in hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when moisture outside of the basement or foundational wall exceeds the pressure inside. Water will naturally seek the lower pressure, resulting in foundational leaks and even cracks.
Here's how we get your home back to normal:
- We remove the water quickly and efficiently before the water starts to cause structural damage and secondary water problems
- We bring in dehumidifiers that work to remove the moisture and start moving the air to help to dry out the basement
- Once the water and the moisture are completely removed, we will clean, sanitize and treat the area with an antimicrobial agent to make sure that mold does not form

So you’ve had water damage
from some type of water intrusion and now you have a wet carpet. What do you do? There are several things to consider:
How much water are we talking about?
If there is minimal water damage - three or 4 gallons, you can probably use a shop vacuum to remove the water, then direct large fans at the water damaged area. You should also use a dehumidifier in the room if you have access to one.
If a large area is affected and/or there is an excessive amount of water damage you will need the water professionally removed with a water extractor. The professional will also be able to “float” the carpet and pad and get air circulating underneath.

Steps to Take After a Pipe Breaks:
Shut off the main water supply valve, which is usually adjacent to the main service pipe or underneath the sink, and allow your pipes to drain by turning on all water taps and flushing your toilets after you switch off your home’s heating system. All leaks should stop once there is no more water coming from the taps.
You may want to switch off your electricity if water has accumulated near electrical outlets, appliances, etc. Also, water leaks in areas like the ceiling tend to culminate around light fixtures.
Locate the burst pipe.
If it is a small crack you may be able to temporarily patch the leak, but if the damage is too severe, contact a professional.
If you need to thaw frozen pipes, you can use a hair dryer or space heater, but do not use an open flame – it is a potentially dangerous practice.
After you have taken these steps and minimized imminent damage, call AirCare Envirionmental.
