- ⚠Water seeping through walls or the floor — water coming in where a basement wall meets the floor, through cracks, or up through the floor after heavy rain or a high water table.
- ⚠A sump pump that failed or cannot keep up — a sump pump that stopped running, runs constantly, or cannot keep up with the water coming in, so the basement floor stays wet.
- ⚠Soaked carpet or flooring — carpet, rugs or wood flooring in the basement that stays wet underfoot, or flooring that cups, lifts or feels soft where water reached it.

- ⚠Sewage water in the basement — dark or foul-smelling water coming up through a floor drain or toilet in the basement. Do not touch it and do not try to clean it up yourself — stay out and call.
- ⚠Water spreading from upstairs — water from a leak or a burst pipe upstairs travelling down into the basement, or a ceiling below a bathroom or kitchen that sags or drips. Never enter a flooded basement — call and describe it.
