Basement flooding in Germantown MD

Are you suffering basement flooding issues in your Germantown, MD home? That’s a serious problem with no easy answers, and as you know, few things are more damaging to home and property than water. It’s silent and insidious.

Everything seems fine one day, and then the next, it’s everywhere, and depending on the severity of the basement flooding in your Germantown, MD home, you’re not only looking at thousands of dollars in repairs, but also the loss of pretty much everything the water touches. Given how much “stuff” most people store in their basements, that could be catastrophic, to say the least.

At the root, there are really only two things that cause flooding like you’re experiencing. It’s either a burst pipe (which is obvious, and although quite damaging, fairly easy to fix), or it’s a drainage issue. That’s harder to fix, but still doable.

Normally, if a house is built “in the path” of water, like in cases where your house is built on a lower elevation on your property, the builders will install a French drain during the early phases of construction. It’s possible that that’s what the builders did in your case, and over time, something has happened to clog or damage the drain, which is leading to basement flooding in your Germantown, MD home.

If that’s the case, the problem is bad, but still fairly easy to fix. We find the clogged or damaged section of the drain, repair it, waterproof your basement, then attend to the damaged walls and the interior.

On the other hand, if the builders just never added a drain at all, that’s a bigger project. It will require deep excavation that will expose the entire foundation of your home. Once exposed, we can add the drain, waterproof your basement from the outside, then fix the walls and the damage to the interior.
