24 Hour Basement Flood Response
Responding to water damage requires more attention to detail than many might imagine. Water damage, mold threats, and storm damage present an array of challenges. Meeting each problem head-on in real-time in wake of a flood can seem impossible. Moreover, people experience a range of strong emotions. This can make the tasks necessary to stanch each problem before it gets out of control just too much to handle—without the help of an expert. Our team of emergency response specialists here at 24 Hour Flood Pros™ are here to help.
Basement flooding is one of the most prominent and important elements of flooding and water damage. For one, basements are more prone to floods than any other part of the home. Also, without repairing and protecting the basement, your home is far more liable to future flooding events, whether from initial water damage and residual moisture or failing to attack the initial problem at its root. Here at 24 Hour Flood Pros™, we pride ourselves on fixing the underlying problems so that these emergencies never strike again.
Basement Flooding Services
Chances are, if you have or do experience flooding in your home, it occurred mainly or solely in the basement. Furthermore, flooding strikes basements at any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You must be prepared.
Basements are more prone to flooding and water damage simply as a result of their location at the bottom of the house. Gravity draws the massive weight of flood waters down into low-lying areas, making basements the equivalent of your domestic swamp. Basements tend to have more openings, cracks, and crannies that allow water to seep down, whether from the inside or through windows and wall seepage.
24 Hour Flood Pros™ provides immediate response to basement flooding events. Our initial goal is to stop the acute symptoms of continued and increased flooding. From there, we move on to diagnosing the root of the problem.
The Real Danger: Mold, Mildew & Biological Growths
We all know that basement flooding is a massive lifestyle hazard. A serious basement flood creates disruptions and distractions for weeks, if not months. But basement flooding is an even bigger health and safety hazard. That’s why it’s vitally important you contact the professionals here at 24 Flood Pros™ in wake of a basement flooding event.
Health & Safety Hazards
The number one threat to your basement, long after the flood has cleared, is mold, mildew, and other biological growth. These organisms wreak havoc on the structural integrity of your home and can pose serious health hazards. These organisms thrive on moisture, but don’t require sunlight, making a basement flood the ideal environment for their growth.
Mold and mildew can cause a wide range of health hazards, including but not limited to:
Whether you notice biological growth or not, it’s absolutely vital that you contact 24 Hour Flood Pros™ to assess the situation and ensure its prevention. Visit our Mold Remediation page to learn more about how we combat mold, mildew, and biological growth.

The damage alone is enough to handle, but ensuring the safety of your home and family poses added stress and concern that you want to avoid. In the end, the best way to prevent basement flooding is to make your basement waterproof.
