Heavy Rain Can Mean Big Problems For Your Basement 


A basement can flood at any time, although Washington DC flooding most often occurs during heavy rainfall. Basements are inherently prone to flooding because they are the lowest level of a building and are normally built partly or entirely below ground level.

There are a number of reasons why your Washington DC basement could flood, including:


A blocked or failed sewer lateral pipe


Heavy rain causes surface water to pool around your home


Storm sewer backup


Sanitary sewer backup


Foundation drainage failure


Water supply-line break or hot-water tank failure
