Why Flooding Happens in Homes & Commercial Properties
Flooding can occur when:
- Outdoor drains are buried in mud or soil
- Parking lot drains are clogged with sediment
- Street sewer systems back up
- Catch basins overflow
- Basement drains sit below the sewer level
- Tree roots block sewer flow
- Stormwater has nowhere to go
Flood control requires addressing both indoor and outdoor drainage systems.

Commercial Sewer & Drain Cleaning FAQs
Can Hydro Excavation stop recurring outdoor flooding?
Yes — it exposes and clears buried drains that standard equipment can’t reach.
Do you service parking lot drains and basin drains?
Yes — Hydro Excavation is ideal for these drainage systems.
Why does my basement flood only during heavy rain?
Often outdoor drains are blocked, causing water to push backward into the building.
How often should flood control systems be inspected?
Once a year at minimum, more often for flood-prone areas.
Why do basement drains flood during heavy rains?
Should mention that flooding can be caused by plumbing issues OR ground water seepage/infiltration, not always plumbing-related
