As many property owners in the St. Louis area knows, basement flooding is a big problem in the St. Louis area. While homeowners see the worst of the basement flooding in the five Saint Louis counties of St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, St. Charles County, and Franklin County, business owners with property that contains basements experience basement flooding as well. 

Basement flooding has always been a hassle for property owners, a mess that takes time, money, and destroys valuables when they get wet, but since the demand for finished basements has made the cost of the property damage from floods and the amount of property restoration work rise dramatically, property owners are even more incentivized to find ways to reduce basement flooding. 

Historical methods of “waterproofing” a basement include installing a sump pump and sealing the basement from areas where water can creep in. Basement flooding is almost inevitable in certain flood plain areas or areas where water flow in heavy rains accumulates quickly, however there is one relatively simple ongoing maintenance initiative that property owners can do to reduce the flooding as well as the structural damage to a basement/foundation from heavy rains: keep your gutters in good repair.

Gutters are on buildings to draw the water away from the building, displacing it somewhere else where it will ideally cause less problems. Gutters keep water from aggregating at the bottom of the basement foundation and therefore flooding during heavy rains. 

Gutter maintenance these days can be relatively easy and inexpensive for a homeowner or business owner with a smaller building that is even slightly handy to do on their own. Guttering repair is something that property owners can research online, acquire the materials for, and perform in do-it-yourself fashion if they so prefer.

For property owners who are looking to hire gutter installation and repair companies, Disaster Emergency Services has listed some well known gutter companies in the St. Louis are to make sure your gutters are kept in the best shape possible to reduce the amount of water that accumulates in a basement during a heavy storm.
