My Basement is Flooded, What Can I Do?

Olathe Homeowners Can Get the Flood Damage Help They Need by Calling SERVPRO After a Storm.

Basements tend to flood first during heavy rainfall because they are the lowest point of the home. Whenever you get hit with the unexpected, SERVPRO is available 24/7 for your Olathe property's emergency restoration. Our rapid response ensures that your personal property and structural materials have the best chance of full recovery. 

Why Did My Basement Get Overloaded with Water?

With excessive rain during a storm, over saturation of the ground can lead to hydrostatic pressure. This occurs whenever moisture around the exterior of your basement or foundation will exceed the interior's pressure. Once this happens, water seeks lower pressure that can result in cracks and foundation leaks. We can address the issues you have with flood damage in Olathe to clean up standing water and dry out your basement interior.

We use a broad assortment of treatments to restore your home to preloss condition. This may include:
