Water is not properly diverted away from the townhome in one corner. Water enters basement trickling indoors alongside the foundation down by the floorboards. My townhome association told me we need a grading diverting the water away from the home. A basement systems company told me I should install a sump pump and pvc pipe drainage.

Kitchen Water Damage Restoration
Water leaks and flood damage repair is often needed in the kitchen more than in other areas of the house. The kitchen has a number of appliances including refrigerators, dishwashers, and other appliances that have special water pipes connected to them. Leaks in these pipes are often harder to detect with the result that a major leak or burst is enough to send your kitchen flooding. Make sure that all the appliance in your kitchen have water pipes that are perfectly secured.
The kitchen sink is the most prone to water leaks. Make sure that the drain of the sink is clear, and free from clogs. A heavily and frequently clogged drain and frequent use of plunger will only weaken the pipe, causing leaks. Check your refrigerator regularly for small leaks that could indicate a ruptured pipe. Do the same with your dishwasher -- check the hose connection to the water pipe. If you can afford to spend a little extra on the leak proof valves that newer dishwashers come with, make the investment. Add drip trays, stop valves and double skin hoses for extra protection for your dishwasher. Remember, flood damage in the kitchen is harder to repair, so a program of preventive maintenance will help you save you money later.
Water damage in your kitchen can be extensive, and costly to control. Water damaged cabinets are just one example of the havoc that a flood in the kitchen can cause. Your appliances will likely have to be serviced or replaced because the water logging may cause electrical wirings to short circuit. The growth of mold and mildew is another possibility. If flood damage in your kitchen is extensive, you may need to vacate your home for a few days until the situation is brought under control, because your house may be inhabitable without the use of a kitchen.
