We respond to water damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Lake County.

Basement flooding is a common problem in Fox Lake. Our team in Northwest Lake County restores water damage 24-hours a day, and we typically arrive onsite within four hours of your call for help. The Insurance Information Institute lists the following top causes of basement flooding:

Lateral pressure: When the soil surrounding your basement absorbs water and expands, it creates stress on your basement walls, causing them to crack, allowing water to seep into the structure.

Hydrostatic pressure: Similar to lateral pressure, hydrostatic pressure can cause buckling and cracking of the walls and foundation of a house.

Poor landscaping: If the grade of the soil around your foundation runs towards your foundation, your basement can flood.

Clogged window wells: If your window wells are filling with water, your window wells may be improperly installed, or the drain is clogged.

Leaky pipes: Inspect your plumbing systems, starting with their entry into the basement to where it leaves, including the sewer line. Make repairs as required.
