Need Water Extraction? Call Us Today!

Major Storms might not be common in Oregon, but lots of rain and snow is! Many homeowners here in Oregon may not be aware that basement flooding is very common, but don't worry! In the case you ever experience a flooded basement, SERVPRO has trained professionals and state of the art equipment that can remove any amount of water; no matter how deep! Once all the water is removed, we can clean your basement and repair any damages caused by the flooding. In the meantime, here are some things you can do as a homeowner to try and prevent your basement from flooding. 

• Sealing tiles and foundation. Proper sealing is necessary to prevent water seepage and foundation damage.
• Proper downspout installation. If downspouts are too short, are clogged, or face the wrong way, floodwaters can quickly be redirected into your home through cracks in the basement. 
• Drain tiles. This is the drainage system built around your home, like a curtain drain.
• Clean gutters. Much like your downspouts, gutters need adequate care to prevent damage and clogs that can eventually lead to water pooling in the basement. 
• Sump pumps. Making sure your basement's drainage system is operational minimizes the risk of sewage backups and floodwater backing up into your home.
