Why DC Basements Flood
In July 2019, an intense storm dumped several inches of rain on DC in about an hour, flooding basements and streets across the city. Many DC rowhouses have below-grade units, older sewer connections, and aging pipes, so heavy rain and winter freezes both cause frequent water damage.
What DC Restoration Companies Typically Handle
- Basement unit flood cleanup: Extraction and drying of below-grade apartments.
- Sewer backup cleanup: Removing contaminated water and disinfecting.
- Condo and rowhouse leaks: Drying shared walls and ceilings.
- Frozen pipe cleanup: Drying after winter pipe bursts.
