Basement Flooding in Stratford, CT
A wet basement after rain is often not a basement problem at all. It is roof water that should have been carried away from the house and was not.

What it is
What we do for basement flooding
When gutters, downspouts or the pipes buried under the lawn clog, the rain off your roof lands right beside the foundation. From there it soaks down and finds its way in. That is one of the most common reasons we see basements flood.
The other common cause is the sewer side: water coming back up a floor drain when the line or the public sewer backs up. The two need different fixes, so the first job is working out which one you have. Call and Frank can explain it on the phone.
We do not do basement waterproofing, basement finishing, foundation repair or mold work. We fix the drainage behind the water.

Around here
Leaves, storms and older homes
Fall leaves fill gutters and buried downspout lines across the area, so the first big storm of the season is often when basements start taking water.
One reviewer told us water in her basement turned out to be caused by a damaged drain. Another wrote that our crew drilled holes so the water could drain without flooding their basement, and used a camera to find the problem.

★★★★★"All Clear did a professional job. Charlie was a powerhouse under Frank’s leadership, drilling the holes so that the drainage could occur without flooding our basement, using modern camera and scope technology to find the problem, and even giving suggestions to protect our home as we move ahead. Worth the money to go with a local company that gets the job done with care and expertise."

Questions
Basement Flooding questions
Why does my basement flood when it rains?
Often because gutters, downspouts or underground drains are not carrying the roof water away from the foundation. A sewer backup or high ground water can cause it too. Call and Frank will explain which it sounds like.
Do you do basement waterproofing?
No. We do not do basement waterproofing, basement finishing, foundation repair or mold work. We fix the drainage that is often letting the water in: gutters, underground drains, sewer lines, sump pumps and backwater valves.
Sewage is coming up my floor drain. Is that flooding?
That is a sewer backup. Stop using the water and call (203) 943-8722.
