Common Causes of Flooding in Seattle
Multiple factors increase your risk of flooding in Seattle, including heavy rainfall, drainage system overload, appliance failure, and coastal flooding. Below are the most common reasons Seattle residents and business owners require emergency water removal:
Roto-Rooter's Emergency Flood Services

Dangerous bacteria, viruses, and parasites quickly multiply in standing water, exposing people to health risks.

Basement flooding in Seattle is common, especially in older homes with drains connecting to municipal stormwater systems. When basement flooding occurs, Roto-Rooter responds with rapid water extraction, after which our licensed and experienced plumbers help you address the root cause of the flood.
Mold Remediation and Cleanup
Seattle buildings are susceptible to mold and mildew, which can rot wood, cause foul odors, and pose a health risk to people with respiratory conditions. Flooding increases a building’s risk of mold, as do poorly sealed windows and doors, leaky roofs, damaged gutter fascia, high humidity, and plumbing leaks.
If you suspect you have a mold problem, contact Roto-Rooter. Our trained professionals are Applied Microbial Remediation Technicians certified to perform mold remediation. We use industry-leading equipment to handle all aspects of mold remediation, including mold removal, leak detection, water extraction, and the drying, sanitizing, and deodorizing of your home or business.
Water and Sewage Cleanup Services
Once water extraction is complete, Roto-Rooter offers prompt water damage cleanup to homeowners and commercial facilities. Our water and sewage cleanup services include the following:
- Cleaning messes caused by broken pipes, failing plumbing fixtures, and appliance malfunctions.
- Cleaning up sewage overflow damage from toilets, sewers, or drains.
- Clean up of flooding caused by severe weather, including groundwater flooding into basements or water leaking through ceilings.
- Removal of damaged contents, flooring, and drywall.
- Thorough drying of all affected areas to the highest industry standards.
Roto-Rooter professionals remove unsalvageable contents, flooring, and drywall. We then clean affected areas with industrial-strength disinfecting agents, then deodorize and thoroughly dry walls, floors, and ceilings. Our water mitigation equipment stays on site until temperature, humidity, and moisture testing confirm the affected area has dried to the most rigid industry certification standards.
