Is your home’s basement flooding in Silver Spring, MD? If so, you don’t need us to tell you what a major problem it is. Not only does it indicate major problems with your foundation and basement that can cost you tens of thousands of dollars, but of course, depending on the severity of the flooding issue, everything you’re storing in the basement is at risk. Not a happy situation.

Before the problem can be fixed, we’ve got to drill down and get to the root cause. Where basement flooding in your Silver Spring, MD home is concerned, there are really only two possibilities: A busted pipe or a drainage problem (and specifically, the lack of drainage around your home).

In the case of flooding caused by a busted pipe, it’ll be pretty obvious that that’s what the problem is. While it’s still extremely bad news, if this is your issue, then count yourself (relatively) lucky as it’s the simplest and most straightforward problem to fix.

If the basement flooding in your Silver Spring, MD home is being caused by inadequate or nonexistent drainage, that’s a bigger issue. Still fixable, but the process will be more involved.

It’s possible that the people who originally built your home did, in fact, install a drainage system, but over the years, something has gone wrong, and the system is either clogged or damaged to the point of being nonfunctional. That’s a more serious problem than a busted pipe, but still fairly easy to fix. We just locate the problem in the drainage system, un-clog or repair it, waterproof your basement, then move on to the interior of your basement.

Worst case, the builders didn’t install a drainage system at all. If that’s the situation, it’s a major problem, but we can still fix it. To do so, we’ll need excavate all around your house to expose your entire foundation, install a French drain, waterproof your basement from the exterior, then move into the inside to patch the walls and attend to any other damage.

Once we identify the root cause of the issue, we’ll give you a no-obligation quote so you’ll know exactly what it will take to put the issue to bed once and for all. Then, assuming you’re comfortable with everything, we’ll begin. Before you know it, the issue will be solved, you’ll have greater peace of mind, and one less very big thing to worry about.

These kinds of issues are both terrible and problematic. It’s unfortunate, but you don’t have to go it alone. We’ve got decades of experience, and there’s no job too big for our talented team to handle. Don’t delay. We’re standing by.
