How to Prevent Basement Flooding in your Little Rock Home

Basements are especially susceptible to flooding due to being the lowest level of a building and usually being at least partially built underground. While basement flooding can occur at any time, it most often occurs during heavy rainfall. There are a number of possible problems that can lead to your Little Rock basement flooding: 

• 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
• And more

How to prevent basement flooding: 

While not all disasters are preventable, there are some steps you can take to help protect your home and basement areas from flooding: 

• Keep gutter clean and free from debris 
• Cover window wells in basements 
• Grade your yard away from your house and foundation 
• Repair leaks in pipes, roofing, siding, and foundation as soon as possible
• Maintain drainage systems
