Basement Flooding
More
If you have a basement, it is always at risk of flooding from surface water, storm water, groundwater, or sewage backup. While the risk from day to day is quite low, it still exists, especially during a heavy rainstorm or rapid snowmelts.
The best way to reduce the risk of flooding is to understand the causes of basement flooding and to take steps to protect your investment.
Be safe! Entering a wet basement could be hazardous. Visit our What do I do if my basement floods? page for a list of suggestions.
Report the flooding or backup to your insurance company.
Also report the flood or backup to the Town of Essex - 519-776-7336 (during office hours and after hours).
