The Most Common Causes of a Flooded Basement:

  1. Heavy Rainfall: Tacoma's weather can be unpredictable, and heavy rainfall is a frequent occurrence. When the ground becomes saturated, excess water can seep into basements through cracks in your foundation or poorly sealed windows and doors.
  2. Poor Drainage Systems: Clogged gutters, improperly sloped landscaping, or malfunctioning downspouts can all lead to water pooling around your foundation and finding its way into the basement.
  3. Sump Pump Failure: Sump pumps are designed to prevent basement flooding by pumping out excess water from the sump pit. However, if the pump is old, malfunctioning, or overwhelmed by a sudden influx of water, it may fail to do its job effectively, resulting in a flooded basement.
  4. Leaking Pipes or Plumbing Issues: Damaged or leaky pipes in your home can release water into the basement over time. This could be due to corrosion, aging infrastructure, or even accidental damage during renovations or repairs.
  5. Sewage Backup: Sewage backup is a particularly unpleasant cause of basement flooding. When a municipal sewer system becomes overwhelmed with water during heavy rainfall or due to blockages, sewage can back up into the home through floor drains or toilets, leading to extensive damage and health hazards.
  6. Foundation Cracks: Over time, your home’s foundation may develop cracks or gaps, allowing water to seep into your basement. 
  7. Malfunctioning Appliances: Appliances such as washing machines or water heaters located in the basement can malfunction or develop leaks, resulting in water damage.
