- ⚠Standing water on the basement floor — water sitting on a basement floor that is not draining away, or dampness that keeps returning in the same place after rain, snowmelt or a thaw.
- ⚠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.
- ⚠Water staining and damp patches — stains on a basement wall or ceiling, paint that bubbles or peels, or a musty damp smell that does not go away after the room dries.
- ⚠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.
