Flooded Basement

Edgewater and Anne Arundel County are situated along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Edgewater and Deale border numerous creeks, streams, rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. This fact makes the southern portions of Anne Arundel County vulnerable to flooding during certain storm conditions.  Click here to learn more from Anne Arundel County. If you need Flood Insurance, click here. 

Most properties in Edgewater, have well and septic systems as well as sump pumps. Sump pumps can easily get overwhelmed during a heavy rain event. We see this a lot. Another common source of flooded basements is when power is lost and the battery backup fails on the pump.
