Basement flooding and water damage may affect Youngstown Ohio homes this spring, but precautionary steps can protect belongings and minimize water damage costs.

Youngstown, Ohio, USA – March 22, 2016 /PressCable/ —

ServiceMaster Restoration by All-Action reminds Youngstown Ohio residents to be alert to signs of basement flooding or water leakage due to the unseasonal changes in weather.

“The Mahoning Valley has had its share of flooding problems throughout the years, and local residents should be cautious about potential basement flooding as seasons change,” explained Rick Pesa, General Manager.

He reminds residents that, typically, homeowner insurance doesn’t cover water damage claims due to water seepage as snow and ice melts. However, uncharacteristically high levels of water from nearby river flooding may be covered under a flood insurance policy. Each resident should carefully review their policy, to understand what is covered and what is required of them if a situation with water damage occurs.

The Midwest experienced unusual fluctuations in both precipitation and temperature over the winter months, which may affect the groundwater system and local rivers this spring. If municipalities are not prepared for the water level fluctuations, that may affect residential sewer systems. The disaster restoration team of ServiceMaster Restoration by All-Action helped entire neighborhoods in Youngstown, Ohio when the sewer system overflowed into residential basements. Pesa warns residents to assess their current basement and contents, taking care to store personal belongings properly now.
