Basement flooding is a common problem in Ottawa, often caused by heavy rain, melting snow, or plumbing failures. If your basement floods, calling an emergency plumber is essential to protect your home and health.
Why Call an Emergency Plumber?
1. Quick Water Removal
Standing water can damage your home’s structure and lead to mold growth within 24–48 hours. Emergency plumbers can quickly remove water and minimize damage.
2. Identify the Cause
Flooding can result from broken sump pumps, burst pipes, or sewer backups. A professional plumber can find the root cause and fix it efficiently.
3. Handle Sewer Backups
If the flood involves sewage, it poses serious health risks. A licensed plumber can safely address and resolve the issue
