Basement Flooding Solutions in Columbus, OH

A plumber first, to stop the source. Restoration comes after.

A plumber first. If water is still coming in, cleanup won't hold. We find the source and stop it, then a restoration company can dry and clean the space.

Either the soil is saturated and groundwater is pushing in, or the sewer is overloaded.

In heavy rain, clay soil around the foundation saturates and groundwater pushes in at the walls and floor. At the same time, sewers fill up, especially in combined sewer neighborhoods, and water can come up through the floor drain. We'll tell you which one is happening in your basement.

A sump pump removes groundwater. An ejector pump moves wastewater from basement fixtures up to the sewer.

A sump pump removes groundwater. It sits in a pit at the lowest point of the basement and pumps water out of the house. An ejector pump moves wastewater from fixtures below the main sewer line, like a basement bathroom or laundry room, up to the main sewer level.

Often not for groundwater or sewer backup. Check your policy. We document the cause for your claim.

Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover flooding caused by groundwater, sewer backup or heavy rain. Those events usually require separate flood insurance or a sewer backup rider. If the flooding is caused by a sudden plumbing failure, like a burst pipe, your standard policy may cover it. Check your policy or contact your insurer to confirm. Our technician will document the cause, which may support your claim.

It depends on the cause and the fix. You get a flat price first.

It depends on what's causing the water and what fixes it. A new sump pump is a different job than a lateral repair or an overhead sewer. We give you a flat-rate price before any work starts.
