Wet basement? Flooded crawlspace? Leaking foundation?
Storm & Flash Flood Water
Intense rain overwhelms gutters, window wells and yard drainage and pushes water against the foundation faster than soil can absorb it.

Do this right now
- Clear window wells, area drains and gutters if it's safe outside
- Extend downspouts several feet away from the house
- Block low entry points temporarily with sandbags or towels
- Never walk or drive through moving floodwater
Warning signs
- Water coming in through basement windows or window wells
- Pooling next to the foundation after storms
- Water entering under exterior doors
- Wet walls only after heavy rain
What the waterproofing contractor will do
Fixes include window well drains and covers, regrading, French drains, downspout extensions or buried lines, and interior drainage where water can't be stopped outside.
What affects the price
Downspout and window well fixes are inexpensive; French drains, regrading and interior systems cost more. Providers set their own prices, so ask for any service-call or inspection fee and an estimate first.
Safety first
- Never walk into standing water near outlets, cords, appliances or the electrical panel.
- Smell gas or see a furnace or water heater underwater? Leave and call your gas utility or 911.
- Sewage in the water? Avoid contact and keep kids and pets away—it's a health hazard.
