Basement Flooding Cleanup FAQs
- Why does my Norfolk basement flood?
- Common causes: high water table after heavy rain, foundation cracks, failed sump pumps, blocked exterior drains, and storm surge. We diagnose the actual source so the next storm does not repeat the loss.
- Should I replace finished basement materials after flooding?
- Carpet, pad, drywall below the waterline, and insulation typically need replacement after category 2 or 3 water exposure. We document everything for your insurance claim.
